And So To Bed’s Georgian Four Poster is a favourite in period properties due to its classical proportions, however the company has given this traditional beauty a contemporary twist:

The mahogany Georgian Four Poster can now be hand painted to order, offering dramatically different looks, available in eight standard colours from ‘statement’ black or silver through red, blue and green to more ethereal soft white, cream or grey.

A perfect ingredient for today’s eclectic look, this imposing bed will always make a classic centrepiece.
