Egyptian Style Canopy Bed Movie Prop from 1963 Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor

About the Item

A very special one-of-a-kind piece. The Canopy Bed was built as a prop for the 1963 version of Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. While the piece was constructed for the film, the making of the film was a fiasco, over budget and shot in many countries, with a lot of problems and huge, epic scenes with many extras. We don't believe this bed made it into the film, but we know if was built for the movie along with many other pieces that stood by, some were used, others not. The piece is well made, exceptionally stylish and definitely an asset to very specific spaces. The top did have a ribbed, sheer canopy, but it was removed due to condition. There are also eyelets on each poster for a drape. The area for a mattress is 75" x 48" Dressed, with a canopy, drapes and the right bedding and this piece would be the center piece and conversation piece of any room, either for sleeping or lounging. A stunning compliment to the right space!
