Mahogany Bed, Louis XVI Style – 1920

This magnificent mahogany bed, dating from the 1920s, exquisitely embodies the aesthetics of the Louis XVI style. Its imposing headboard, inlaid with small lozenges, testifies to remarkable craftsmanship. Enhanced by a pair of gilt bronze candlesticks, it instantly captures the attention and lends the whole a refined charm. The ornamentation is exceptionally rich: a finely carved molding, enhanced with egg-and-dart decoration, an elegant trim, delicate rosettes, and subtle corner motifs. Asparagus spears complete this decorative harmony, adding further depth to the piece. The pediment, adorned with branches and a knotted bronze wreath, reinforces this majestic and solemn appearance.

Finally, The bed rests on four fluted, toupie-shaped legs, terminating in bronze sabots, ensuring stability and a distinguished presence. Even though it is a later piece, this bed is much more than just a piece of furniture: it is a work of art, a testament to the refinement and elegance characteristic of the Louis XVI style. Perfect for a bedroom where history and art meet. ********Period: 1920 Excellent condition Varnished finish Slatted base and mattress 140x200 (not included) Additional photos available by clicking on the following link: https://www.antiquites-lecomte.com/boutique/chambres/lit-en-acajou-style-louis-xvi-1920/ Delivery possible in France and internationally upon request.
