During its heyday, it represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.   Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Deco   Source:    https://www.decolish.com/ArtDecoFurniture.html Source: https://magazine.artland.com/art-deco-furniture-style/   External Dimensions:Headboard Height = 116.5cm / 45⅞” / 3ft 9⅞”Footboard Height = 65.5cm / 25¾” / 2ft 1”External Length = 209.5cm / 82½” / 6ft 10½”External Width (Headboard) = 138.5cm / 54½” / 4ft 6½” External Width (Footboard – Feet) = 145cm / 57⅛” / 4ft 9⅛” Height from Floor to Top of Side Rails = 33cm / 13” / 1ft 1” Side Rail Length = 190cm / 74⅞” / 6ft 2⅞” Side rail Depth = 4.5cm / 1¾” Floor to Bottom of Side Rail = 28cm / 11Mattress Opening Dimensions: Length = 191.5cm / 75⅜” / 6ft 3⅜” Width = 137cm / 54” / 4ft 6”max Mattresses:We can supply a range of mattresses starting from £450.
