D. Maria style double bed, in rosewood, Portugal, 19th century.

About the Item

This 19th-century bed is a stunning example of Portuguese craftsmanship, meticulously fashioned from solid rosewood and adorned with satinwood inlays. The headboard stands as a testament to the intricate artistry of the period, featuring a gracefully scalloped top edge. The decorative elements are highlighted by inlaid fillets that form a precise geometric design, adding a touch of sophistication to the piece. Atop the headboard, turned pinnacles rise, adding an element of elegance and stature to the overall structure. The bed's frame is equally impressive, showcasing the rich, natural hues and grain patterns characteristic of rosewood. The inclusion of a beautifully carved wooden lintel further enhances the bed's aesthetic appeal. The sturdy construction of the bed is evident in its robust posts and rails, designed to provide lasting durability while maintaining an air of refinement. The satinwood inlays offer a delicate contrast to the darker rosewood, creating a visually pleasing interplay of colors and textures. This bed not only serves as a functional piece of furniture but also as a work of art, embodying the rich heritage and skilled craftsmanship of 19th-century Portuguese woodworking. Its timeless beauty and attention to detail make it a prized possession for any antique collector or enthusiast of fine furniture.
