19th Century French Louis XVI Rosewood Queen Bed

About the Item

19th Century French Louis XVI Rosewood Queen Bed brings to life the neoclassical revival that occurred during the reign of Napoleon III. Executed in exotic imported rosewood, it features veneers with oriented grain patterns to create intriguing visual effects on the head and foot boards. The design was influenced by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and includes a rectilinear form accented by a subtly arched crown centered with boldly sculpted representations of the torchere and carquois de fleche, two symbols of the French monarchy representing the power and longevity of the crown. The artworks are symbolically held together with ribbon and flanked by floral sprays, leading the eye down to the corners upon which are mounted carved finials. The foot board features a pair of rosettes above and below the columns and an understated elegance of form in molded design with just a touch of carved detail centered on the lower apron. Turned legs provide support. Even the rails have been finely molded and treated with the same adornment as appears at the bottom of the foot board. Price includes our expert in-house customization to ensure this stunning antique bed accommodates a modern queen mattress & foundation! Circa 1870s Head board measures 58.5H x 62.5W; Foot board measures 35H x 62.5W

  • 19th Century French Louis XVI Painted Bed with Caning
    Located in Dallas, TX
    19th Century French Louis XVI Painted Bed with Caning is a remarkable work of the furniture maker's art! Sculpted from walnut, it features artistry exhibited from the crown of the headboard to the arbalette base of the footboard which happens to match the side rails. The gracefully arched headboard consists of complex hand-carved molding surrounding a Greek coin border all across the crown, centered with an exquisitely rendered wreath of roses tied together with flowing ribbon. Egg finials on foliate bases adorn the corners, underneath which are rosettes and bell flowers, with more rosettes on the corner of the caned panel. As should be the case, the footboard has received equal attentions of the sculptor, with a boldly molded framework in an ovoid shape centered with a laurel wreath tied with ribbon mounted atop the double caned panel. Triangular rosettes provide an accent, with square rosettes serving as end caps on each corner under which are more bell flowers. The original painted finish has achieved a lovely patina and a charming state of distress that only adds to the allure and desirability of this magnificent work of the cabinetmaker's art! Accommodates full mattress with extra width to spare, or a custom mattress that can use queen sheets...
