Sleigh Bed ‘Belle Lille’ Double Size 4'6" A feminie yet strong bedstead with a ‘French shabby chic’ painted distressed finish style, a very feminine antique French inspired addition to our sleigh beds. At Heirloom Beds what a bed looks like is as important as how it is made and what from. Beneath the antique cream finish as with all our beds and furniture the Belle Lille is made from seasoned and kiln dried to 8% solid Swietenia mahogany. Hand made and carved details as well as hand finished. From a picture on the web it is hard to appreciate what it takes to get to the finish on our beds including the Belle Lille perhaps as far as you are concerned cream is cream. We have specified an intensive build up in the finish which is detailed below, this is likely to be far more intensive than anything you are likely to find on the high street. 1. White primer 2. Second coat white primer 3. Cream top coat 4. Second cream top coat 5. Antique finish applied 6. Clear matt lacquer (protects the paint and gives a wipe clean surface) You will appreciate the difference in the flesh and in ten years time appreciate the value and additional efforts we go to.
We have gone to great efforts to have our beds photographed in detail the beds you see are ours and are exactly what you will receive. We do encourage visiting our showroom but if you can not then we can send you a sample piece of wood showing you the timber and quality of our finish.
