About the Item

Antique Italian Neoclassical Giltwood QUEEN Bed is a study in timeless style by one of the original sources for classic design! Utilizing broad radius curvatures on the headboard in a vertical orientation combined with broad radius curves on the footboard in a horizontal orientation, the frame creates a look that is both grand and restrained at the same time. Greek coin motif pervades the design, wrapping all around the headboard, down the rails and continuing across the curved footboard, interrupted only by the feet which are designed to resemble urns with rosettes atop pedestals, all beautifully carved and highlighted with the gold finish to create a luxurious effect. Painstakingly extended to accommodate a Queen size mattress set, the frame could even accommodate a king size set if you don't mind a little bit of overhang on each side. Fabric was very high quality but shows its age and should be reupholstered. Circa early 1900s Headboard measures 50.5H x 75W; Footboard is 16H x 75W; overall length about 90" Available for pickup in the Dallas Design District, Dallas, Texas

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...

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...
