Antique King Sized Bed

1900 - 1920
Description

Superb Antique French Burr Walnut Louis XVI Bed

This exceptional Antique French bed is a beautiful example of Louis XVI elegance, dating from the early years of the last century. Crafted in richly figured burr walnut, the bed displays stunning grain patterns that give depth, warmth, and character to every surface.

The headboard and footboard are finely panelled and cross-banded, framed with delicate marquetry inlay that highlights the clean, architectural lines typical of the Louis XVI style. Subtle yet refined gilt bronze mounts add a touch of understated opulence without overpowering the natural beauty of the wood.

Standing on tapered legs with original brass caps, the bed has a graceful, well-balanced presence.

A truly superb piece of French craftsmanship, this bed would make a striking centrepiece in a traditional or eclectic interior, offering history, quality, and enduring style in equal measure.

The Bed rails have been converted to allow for a standard UK 5FT wide bed. It also comes with Bespoke base (will require mattress)

For 35 years, I have specialised in selling and restoring Antique French Bedroom furniture. Each piece is meticulously revived to enhance both modern and classic spaces. All of my carefully selected goods are purchased with love and care, ensuring the highest quality for customers. Nestled in the serene French countryside, all items are stored in our charming residence before being transported to my small rural storage unit in Gloucestershire (5 minutes from M5 Junction.9 ). I am happy to offer assistance in arranging transport or provide options for easy collection.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

French Empire style beds originate from the early nineteenth century, featuring Neoclassical symmetry, monumental architectural proportions, and ornamental details inspired by Greco-Roman design traditions.

These pieces typically feature solid timber foundations finished with rich veneers such as burr walnut or mahogany, inlaid parquetry or marquetry borders, and decorative cast bronze or brass mounts.

Authentic nineteenth-century bedsteads display period-appropriate joinery techniques, original cast-metal mountings, natural age-related oxidisation on unfinished timber surfaces, and custom rail modifications for modern mattresses.

A substantial wood bed frame serves as a dramatic focal point when paired with neutral textured bedding, understated contemporary bedside lighting, and simplified wall decor to balance detailed woodwork.

Protect timber surfaces by applying natural beeswax polish sparingly along the grain, position the frame away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, and dust metal mounts gentle using a dry cloth.
