About the Item

19th Century Napoleon III Period mahogany wall bed is a superbly well-preserved example of French style and ingenuity from the Second Empire! Hand-crafted from exotic imported mahogany, it features a symmetrical design, with mirror image side boards connected with a substantial front rail fitted with carved corbels on top, and finely molded into the design creating an extraordinarily stylish look that is also amazingly sturdy. Turned legs below mirror the turned finials on top of the corner posts, with the finials at the back halved to make it easy to place the bed against the wall. Even the wheels built into the bottom of the legs are unidirectional, allowing one person to easily roll the bed away from the wall for cleaning, then roll it back into place. Such beds were very desirable as a sofa during the day ~ a great place to lounge during leisure time, but at night become a bed suitable for one making it as versatile as it is gorgeous to behold. The tailored yet classic lines remain as popular and in vogue today as they were when originally conceived centuries ago. Set includes a custom-fit foundation, mattress and topper by RSP in their Posture Perfect Pillow Cloud line. Bed circa 1870s Mattress set & linens are new. Bed measures overall 50H x 82W x 41D.

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...

Antique Italian Neoclassical Painted Queen Bed
Located in Dallas, TX
Antique Italian Neoclassical Painted QUEEN Bed is a splendid expression of the classical style that dates back three thousand years! Even the French embraced the style during the reign of Louis XVI, but in reality it never really went out of fashion. This example, with rectilinear headboard, rails and centermost portion of the footboard, is softened into the room with the introduction of radiused curves a the lower portion of the footboard's sides to connect to the rails. Beautifully carved molded detail appears in abundance across the entire framework, including spiral ribbon, egg and tongue & dart, with a particularly resplendent vine relief across the top of the headboard that is amazingly intricate. As it is supposed to be, the footboard steals the show, designed to take front stage in the room, and featuring an exquisite torchere set...
