About the Item

Antique Country French Louis XVI Stripped 3/4 Bed makes a classic statement thanks to the influence of ancient Greek and Roman architecture dating back thousands of years! The arched headboard commands attention, boldly molded and fitted with a floral and foliate wreath at the center of the arbalette crown. A finely molded and chamfered panel dominates the top of the headboard, designed to be visible even after installation of mattress, linens and pillows. Finely molded trim on the cornerposts leads the eye down to the rails which are framed with beaded molding, a motif that continues around the bottom of the footboard. The footboard is further lavished with rounded cornerposts carved with laurel sprays at top and a rosette below, with another finely molded and chamfered panel presented to the room accentuated with a parquet oval centerpiece adorned with laurel sprays and ribbon. The stripped oak presents a lighter, more casual effect making the bed more compatible with relaxed and casual decors. Designed to fit a 3/4 bed size, we have an excellent contact with a maker that can provide a superior mattress and foundation for a price very competitive with the "big box" stores. Mattress and linens shown NOT included~ for photography purposes only. Circa early 1900s Accommodates 3/4 Bed Size. Headboard measures 62H x 54.5W Footboard measures 38.5H x 53W Rails 76.5 long Available for pickup in the Dallas Design District, Dallas, Texas

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...
