This 5 ft. wide French walnut bed, crafted in the mid-1800s, is a striking example of Louis XIII–style craftsmanship. Made from solid walnut with a rich, aged patina, it features a grand arched headboard decorated with deeply carved scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and an elegant urn motif. Matching the headboard, the footboard showcases strong architectural panels, a central diamond medallion, and ornate floral carvings.
Both headboard and footboard are framed by impressive barley-twist posts topped with carved finials—classic details of high-quality French work from this period. The side rails have been replaced to make the bed a usable size for the UK market.
Beautifully detailed and exceptionally well preserved, this 19th-century bed offers a timeless focal point for any bedroom, blending historical charm with enduring craftsmanship.
