Sleigh Beds - Solid Mahogany

Sleigh beds or Lit Bateau are enjoying new found popularity. Most where designed in the 1800's and made in or for the French Market. Many of the modern reproductions are based on the original designs and made from solid hard wood.

Solid wood is a material that can give many years of reliable service, but there is a risk. The mosy common timber is Mahogany. As long as the drying process is completed correctly it doesn't crack or split. The problem is that many of the Sleigh Beds imported from the far east are not correctly dried. When this is the case splits and cracks will appear.

The Island Furniture Company of Liverpool, carefully monitor the selection and drying process. All the furniture is hand polished and carefully inspected here in the UK. This eliminates most of the risk and ensures the best quality.

Sleigh beds are beautiful additions to the home and if they are good quality, well constructed and well fininshed, will give years of service.
