I spent sometime searching for the right bed.  Like Goldilocks, one was too hard, another too big, another too chintzy, only my list of rejects was much longer than hers!  Eventually, I found a rare Super King-size vintage French bed from a supplier near Brighton.  The French Depot is a family-run company that specialises in vintage French beds and antique furniture.  They have a warehouse in St Leonards, on the south coast, and delivery nationwide.  A similar, reproduction bed in from a popular online site was more expensive, so I was delighted to save some money, and gain some character buying vintage!

Here is the bed modelling a Melin Tregwynt blanket and cushion.
