This French Louis XV style kingsize bed frame dates to 1910 and has a solid construction in warm brown mahogany, burr veneer, fruitwood, and ormolu. The shaped and carved frame displays quarter veneer burr mahogany panels on the headboard, footboard, and side rails, bordered by fruitwood crossbanding. Gilt ormolu mounts accent the corners, and a brass crest sits atop the curved crest rail of the head end. It measures 154.5 cm high, 152 cm wide, and 212.5 cm deep. Suitable for a master bedroom, this kingsize bed provides a central sleeping place designed to accommodate a modern mattress with wooden slats or a low profile base. The restored wooden frame coordinates with traditional and transitional bedroom schemes, pairing with timber furniture and neutral textiles. The cleaned finish highlights the natural figuring of the timber and the metallic mounts.

FAQs

French Louis XV style bed frames feature subtle curved lines, elaborate marquetry or veneer panels, and decorative cast gilt-bronze or brass ormolu mounts.

Craftsmen constructed these bedsteads using solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, faced with figured burr veneers, fruitwood crossbanding inlay, and cast metal mounts.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut marquetry, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, natural oxidisation on original metal mounts, and subtle wear across timber surfaces consistent with age.

Pair a dark timber bedstead with neutral linen bedding and minimalist bedside furniture to allow the wood grain and decorative metalwork to serve as the focal point of the room.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a clean microfiber cloth, apply a natural beeswax polish along the grain annually, and avoid using abrasive liquid cleaners on gilt metal mounts.
