Rare 19th Century Spanish Colonial Bishop's Bed

About the Item

This 19th-century Spanish Colonial bed is a magnificent example of antique craftsmanship, reflecting the rich tradition of colonial furniture design. Carved in dark wood, it features intricate spindle work and detailed ornamentation, particularly in the headboard, where elaborate scrollwork and religious motifs are prominent. The posts, spiraled and stately, provide a commanding presence, typical of Spanish colonial styles of the period. One notable aspect of this bed is that the size of the mattress it accommodates is smaller than modern standards, more akin to a “widow’s bed,” which is smaller than a full-sized mattress. This unique dimension makes the bed stand out, adding to its character as a historical piece. Collectors and those with an appreciation for antique furniture will find this bed to be a perfect blend of style, history, and distinctiveness, though it may require a custom-sized mattress to fit its antique proportions. The bed’s patina, deepened with age, further highlights its rich past, making it an excellent statement piece for any room. This bed is ideal for collectors of fine antiques or anyone seeking to furnish a space with authentic, statement-making colonial furniture. Its unique size may require a custom-made mattress, but the grandeur of this piece more than compensates for any adjustments needed. A true conversation starter, it would make a stunning addition to any room, bringing a sense of history, luxury, and artistry. In centimeters it is 119cm x 187cm, in inches 47 inches x 74 inches. Like a widow size ! High of the 4 turned wood posters: 60 inches or 153cm.
