Good Wear consistent with age and use. Overall Good Condition. Monumental and Rare antique with intricate carvings throughout. with interwoven floral designs Ribbons palm leaves, foliage and plants, crests shells motifs and flambeau with detailed long hand turned profusely mounted with spiral-twist spindles carved with spiral moldings, headboard with old green fabric, you could have it reupholstered if you wish. Jacaranda is native to South America including Brazil that was once a Portuguese colony. You could see in the carving the transition between the Renaissance-Baroque style morphing into the Portuguese rococo elegance with the apparent curved lines, carved pilasters and the Twisting work that was done. As you might be familiar, this is typical of the period of the late 17th Century to early 18th Century, apparent and explicit on the bed frames we have in our collection. During that period , the Portuguese colonial furniture had a distinctive style featuring rare dark wood such as Jacaranda that was loved and favored by the wood turners because they were able to mold it and turn it, since it had the medium density in combination with the fine grain, and when the wood dried out after production , it didn’t crack like the other type of woods. The Exotic wood jacaranda one of the most valued woods in Brazil and explored since the colonial period, today I believe is listed by the IBAMA “The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources” as an endangered species. Intricate work and elaborate carving of foliate flowers and turning in Jacaranda was used in the making of luxury carpentry and music instruments and in the Brazilian baroque furniture Which period spans from the 16th to the 18th centuries. The Jacaranda's exotic nature made it a symbol of the Portuguese monarchy and their colonial wealth. It is easier to pinpoint the Period rather that the place of inception of this glorious furniture. It is not always possible to differentiate with certainty whether this type of Antique furniture pieces were made in Portugal or in the colony (Brazil) but as a general rule, the greater the quality indicates that the more likely it was manufactured in the colony, as the superior carving skilled masters were developed there at earlier time than the 18th Century when the craftsmanship moved to Europe, to England , Portugal and France .. If you would want to assume a later production than the late 17th to early 18th Century , As you know, you would be venturing into the jacaranda of Anglophile taste in eighteenth century, that looked much different than the furniture Portuguese colonial and took place from 1690 until 1780, including the Chippendale furniture that was produced in the 18th Century in 1750-1780. The Outstanding Bed Frames we have, we got them in a succession from a private European Estate. It was a Rare find, That’s why we as a dealer of over 55 years in this business, we don’t see merchandise of this quality on the market today. . Please Feel free to send your expert to examine in person, I can schedule a visit.
