Fine Louis Xvi Style Mahogany and Parquetry Double Bed

19th century
Description

A finely made Louis XVI style mahogany double bed of elegant proportions, richly decorated with figured veneers and gilt bronze mounts. The serpentine shaped headboard is surmounted by a pierced gilt bronze cresting formed as a floral wreath enclosing a ribbon-tied motif, with trailing garlands extending across the top rail. Below, the headboard features finely figured parquetry panels framed within moulded mahogany borders, centred by an applied gilt bronze trophy ornament of suspended baskets and ribbons.

The shaped footboard mirrors the refined craftsmanship of the headboard, with a broad central parquetry panel displaying striking geometric figuring. The corners are adorned with scrolling gilt bronze foliate mounts, while the lower frieze is centred by an additional gilt bronze cartouche. The uprights terminate in tapering turned feet, each decorated with further gilt bronze appliqués, reinforcing the classical Louis XVI aesthetic.

The bed frame is constructed in solid mahogany with matching side rails, combining strong architectural form with delicate decorative detail.

Internal mattress measurements: 76 x 58 inches (approximately 193 x 147 cm).

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

Originating in late 18th-century France, Louis XVI style furniture is characterised by Neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, geometric patterns, and ornamentation inspired by Greek and Roman antiquity.

Frames were primarily constructed using hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often decorated with decorative timber veneers like marquetry or parquetry, and finished with gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, solid timber construction underneath veneers, hand-cast and chased bronze mounts, and original patina on both the woodwork and metalwork.

Combine the detailed wood grain and metalwork of the frame with crisp, modern neutral linens, understated lighting, and minimal wall decoration to allow the architecture of the bed to remain the central focal point.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to mahogany surfaces annually, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners on gilt bronze mounts to prevent stripping the natural aged finish.
