Incredible Mahogany Louis Philippe Bed Frame



King Louis Philippe, the embattled king of France was known to his subjects as the “bourgeois king,” for his tendency to avoid the pomp and ceremony of previous rulers. He dressed in the clothes of the common man. During his reign, the legitimacy of his throne was constantly in question, after Napoleon decimated the monarchy. The furniture that bears the name of Louis Philippe is similar to that of Louis XV, yet simpler in taste and ornament. The smooth lines common to the earlier Louis are found in abundance. Round bases often replace cabriole legs. Raised paneling is more common. This incredible bed is a beautiful yet unusual example of this style. Made from the finest mahogany you will ever see, this bed drips with beauty and style. The Rocaille influenced seashell accent is placed on the base of the footboard, which is quite uncommon. The elaborate cabriole legs are deeply carved and beautiful. You are going to love the beautiful arched head and footboards. By far the most outstanding feature of this piece is the beautiful mahogany. The grain of the wood gives of the illusion of flames! Finding a bed set of this quality in this style is next to impossible. Imagine how wonderful this piece would look in your home!
