Antique Victorian Walnut and Burl Walnut Tall Lincoln Style Full Size Bed

About the Item

Gorgeous antique Victorian tall Lincoln style full size bed in solid walnut and walnut burl with footboard and side rails. It is in wonderful original vintage condition. That does not mean it is without beautiful age patina of marks and distressing from over 100 years of use. The very top of the carved crown on the headboard had cracked and broken away and been lost over the years. But one of our staff artisans has hand carved a replacement. It is spectacular. There is also some new bracing to the back of the headboard to help with stability. Please see photos, circa mid-late 19th century. When I was a teenager this high Victorian style of bed is what my mom (a very talented interior designer) put in my bedroom (previously I had a white and pink frilly canopy bed my dad made me) and it remained in her home long after I left. In my room it was paired with the matching Victorian dresser and washstand as nightstand. Beautiful. Fast forward a few years and I installed that very same high Victorian walnut bed in my 8-year-old only granddaughter’s bedroom. But this time I paired it with Industrial stainless-steel vintage hospital nightstands and a funky and fun desk/makeup vanity. All this is just to tell you that no matter your design style this could be your fabulous bed. So, if you have fallen in love with its majestic tall Lincoln style headboard with all its turnings and carvings of walnut and burled walnut, and its oh so handsome footboard and side rails but wonder why…and what you are going to do with it in your modern home or Industrial loft. Never fear. It will be incredible.
