Ilkley Folding & Adjustable Day Bed

Mahogany caned, folding and fully adjustable day bed with removable legs and porcelain casters.  Folds up for travel and goes completely flat for a day bed or couch.  It has three sections each with a ratchet support for different back and knee positions. The footrest also holds the cushions in place.  Thomas Robinson made the Ilkley couch and advertised it as a bed for invalids in 1862.  It was so popular that four years later he advertised it as a comfortable Lounge. A very worn label on the back reads Ilkley.  The three-part cushion is upholstered in a striking black and beige cotton fabric.
