Chinese Woven Top Daybed with Scrolled Feet, c. 1850

About the Item

This 19th century monumental elmwood daybed from China's Shanxi province features an outward-curving apron with cusped edges and a tightly-woven rattan top. The daybed's abbreviated cabriole legs end in feet bearing auspicious ruyi symbols of prosperity, suggesting the platform is floating on good fortune. Traditionally, a daybed such as this was not only a place to sleep, but also to a pot to drink tea, play a game, or share an intimate moment. Additional Dimensions: Table apron to floor: 14".

China Trade Carved Daybed
Located in Gloucestershire, GB
Fantastic and unusual Chinese trade chaise longue in the Louis XV style, circa 1850. This daybed was likely made in Canton for export to the French market.

The rest of the frame is also decoratively carved with Chinese-style peonies and trailing vines. This style of low-relief carved decoration owes a lot to early 18th Century Queen Anne type decoration, more usually seen on period English chairs...
