A painted and faux bamboo tester bed by Syrie Maugham, circa 1930, supplied by Francis Elkins.
The pierced shaped canopy over a fabric frieze, on ribbon-bound faux bamboo footposts and with fabric-draped headboard.
A late 17th century style four poster bed covered in green damask, once the property of Syrie Maugham and Cecil Beaton.

I myself sleep in a canopy bed.
Nothing like it.
Years ago I had a beautiful four poster, with all the draperies etc. I am wishing that green bed
was mine. Ahh to DREAM..
