Antique Louis Xv Bed Frame With Attached Side Tables
Known as the Sun King, Louis XV reigned in France between 1715 and 1774. The style of furniture we associate with his name was essentially Rococo with soft, flowing lines, shell and flower ornamentation, rich upholstery, and inlaying. During this period the cabinet-makers use the curved line more freely, cabriole legs assume stronger curves, the arms, seat rails and framing of the backs of chairs are curved and elaborately carved. Tables are fancifully shaped and the legs, like the chair legs, exhibit more pronounced curves. It was almost impossible to find straight lines in the form of consoles, cabinets and cupboards, as well as in bureaus. The richest materials were used for upholstering. Gilding, painting, lacquer, Boulle inlay and marquetry continued favorite forms of decoration. The beautiful creations of this period were crafted to fit the lavish tastes of the Monarch. This magnificent bed is a beautiful example of this style. This bed is charming with outstanding reverse-toile upholstery on the head and footboards. The rococo curves are seen in this beautiful bed frame, which is made of fine golden oak. The “his and hers” style accent tables are joined to the bed like wings on either side to create an elegant effect. You will love the charming petite cabriole legs found throughout this piece. Imagine how wonderful this piece would look in your bedroom! Measures (head) 39” tall, 64.5” wide, (foot) 29.5” tall, 64.5” wide, (matt) 60”x79”
