Victorian Beds
My mother left in her will a beautiful antique bed from the Victorian times. Undoubtedly it was an era of innovative style and cultural influences from asia and the middle east countries. Designs in these times were regarded has been freighted with indulgence of ornateness and hand crafted artistic touches.
Although there wasn’t really one over bearing dominant style in this period, the prevalence of gothic and revival styles were some of the most common to be found in the Victorian bedroom (as well as the chastity department)
Another item she left was a copper pan bed warmer – my children have fond memories of seeing grandma tucked up in bed in the winter - woollen socks ‘an all’
Modern and contemporary beds in our world of efficiency and prescence of space saving furniture, have advanced in many areas with for ever improving technology, but sometimes you just cant beat a good old fashioned wooden bed to sleep on.
Today’s bed store stocks modern bedroom furniture beds with tempur mattresses and are undoubtedly way more comfortable and are designed with ergonomics in mind. Another example of a modern bed for comparison is the silent night bed range.
