Free: Double bed and mattress (Beckenham BR3) Withdrawn Double divan bed and matching double mattress. Brand = Dreams Andante Divan base splits into two long parts connected with a hook that flips over a big screw at each end, as shown in the image. Can therefore be used as two single beds instead, if you have two single mattresses. Note there is no headboard or footboard. No drawers. The bed and sprung mattress are quite old but have only been used in the spare room so not frequently. However, they are a little bit stained as you'd expect. Please contact me to arrange collection from Beckenham. I hope it can go to a new home...

The statue has been reconstructed and is now a centerpiece at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Statue: The statue represents Nike, the goddess of victory. Discovery: It was found in pieces in 1863 on the Greek island of Samothrace. Damage: The head and arms are missing, and have never been found.
