About the Item

Antique French Louis XVI Walnut Bed is the very definition of elegance! Classically styled in the revival of ancient Greek and Roman architecture so favored by King Louis XVI, it features a headboard crown with bold, rounded shoulders lavished with floral sprays, providing a framework for the floral sprays in fine relief just under the top molding. Laurel garlands and foliates appear atop the diamond parquet center panel, with tailored raised panels and rounded, carved corner posts on each side. The footboard is a variation on the same theme, but with twin panels separated by a parquet stile with urn above, and foliate carvings below. The same motif appears at the bottom of the footboard as appears midway down each side rail, with the rails lengthened to accommodate a more modern XL length full mattress. A queen size mattress set would ride on top with 2" overlap on each side, so is a possibility as well. Hand-crafted from sumptuous French walnut for a classic look that is truly timeless. Circa early 1900s Headboard measures 61H x 57.5W; footboard is 35.5H x 55.5W; rails are 83.5 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...
