Abingdon Four Poster
One of our most popular bed designs. Graceful yet regal with 2” side posts, exceptional strong framework including our signature everlasting knuckle joint fixings.
The Abingdon is one of our most popular antique four posters with delicate brass details and looks incredibly regal.
Offering 2” side posts, exceptional strong framework including our signature knuckle joint which is everlasting.
This victorian metal bed frame is then softened with white crackle finish ceramics which are hand-spun into its brass fixing with an ornate lower brass petal.
The Abingdon Four Poster can also be manufactured as a bedstead, bed surround, headboard or as a bedstead with no foot end. You can order your Abingdon Four Poster in any of our favourite 13 colour options or in any colour not shown for an extra £100**. We cast our beds to exacting standards using time-honoured skills and craftsmanship.
**We offer a wide range of bespoke colours and can match any Pantone #ref provided if you have a specific colour in mind or would like to match the bed to other items of decor in your bedroom. Please get in touch with us on 01726 825182 to place your bespoke colour order.
Hand cast at our Cornwall foundry and made with all the traditional fixings you would expect from an authentic re-production.
Every bed is made individually to order, numbered, and signed off by one of our craftsmen. With The Cornish Bed Company, you can be confident that your Four Poster will last lifetimes and will become an antique in the future.
