Gothic Revival Bedroom Furniture
Gothic Revival Style
The Gothic Revival movement (also called Victorian Gothic or Neo-Gothic) emerged in Britain in the 1740s, and reached its height in the late-19th century. Gothic Revival furniture's characteristics include such decorative flourishes as pointed arches, floral details, finials, heraldic motifs and linenfold carving.
The movement was rooted in religious and social conservatism. Gothic Revival's proponents, who included Charles Barry and A.W.N. Pugin, the architects of London’s Houses of Parliament (designed in 1840), believed that the art and architecture of the Middle Ages were authentically spiritual and inherently moral.
In the United States, the Gothic Revival movement shaped both public buildings and private houses. Numerous American schools were built in the early-19th century in a style now called Collegiate Gothic. Many builders and craftsmen were inspired by Andrew Jackson Downing’s widely read 1850 book Architecture for Country Houses, which posited that a family’s home should exemplify their values — and that the Gothic Revival style was particularly well-suited to scholars and clergymen. Furniture with detailing that mirrored that of Gothic Revival buildings appeared in the same period. Such pieces typically feature dark, intricately carved wood, and upholstery in velvet or leather.
Much like the castles or cathedrals that inspired them, Gothic Revival chairs, bookcases and beds make a bold design statement. And while you probably don’t have to cross a moat or raise a portcullis to get through your front door, a Gothic Revival piece will declare that your home is indeed your castle.

Antique Victorian Walnut and Burl Walnut Tall Lincoln Style Full Size Bed
Located in Topeka, KS
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...

19th Century Belgian Golden Oak Daybed
Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting a glorious and exceptionally rare 19th century Belgian golden oak daybed.
Mid-19th century, circa 1860 and made of golden oak, this daybed is exceptional !
Full size with the most fabulous Lions Heads on the end pillars and mirrors in the pillars and center of the front side panel in a geometric diamond shape.
Made in Belgium and was bought in Belgium and brought to the US in the 1980s.
Probably made in or near Liege in Belgium where most craved Belgian furniture was made in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the 18th century the Liège style woodcarving was the most renowned in the world.
We have never seen another one quite like it !!
Condition is very good for its age.
Kindly note: that it is only the bed frame that is being sold and not the mattress and bed linens, seen in the photos, which are for showroom display purposes only.
Provenance: From a Wealthy Dallas Estate.
Liège was the center of a wealthy bishopric situated between Flanders and Germany. Although part of the holy Roman Empire, its furniture is not typical of the German style. Some of the forms and the decoration came from France, but the result is too refined to be classed as French provincial.
The industries of Liège had been stimulated by the wars of Louis XIV, and the Walloon (Now French speaking part of Belgium) population included many brilliant craftsmen.The houses built by the 1730s include the Château de Seraing for the Prince-Bishop, and the Hôtel d’Ansembourg for the banker Michel Willems. The craft guilds flourished, but very little furniture is actually signed. The principal wood was oak, carefully chosen for its fine quality, close grain, and consistent,delicate sheen. Some pieces were partly gilded andpainted, but bronze and ormolu were not used.
The most typical pieces are the great oak cupboards and buffets in one or two parts, tall clocks, commodes with four equal drawers and short feet, writing-tables, bureau, and glazed cabinets and bookshelves...
