How many day beds come up for sale?

About ten reach the market on Sellingantiques in a year, drawn from a pool of 109 listings. Forty-six different dealers have listed one, so a dealer generally has a single example at a time rather than a run of them.

What period do most day beds come from?

The dealer-entered dates run from 1750 to 1930. Nearly half the category is dated by era rather than by year, with 32 listings filed as "19th Century" and twelve as Victorian. Among the listings that do carry a year, the 1920s is the largest single decade, followed by the 1900s, then the 1880s and 1890s.

Are French day beds different from English ones?

They tend to be. The French group leans on painted frames and on Empire, lit bateau, Directoire and Louis XV shapes, with faux bamboo and canapé corbeille examples among them. The English side is where the upholstered Victorian type sits: turned legs, castors, button backs and ottoman bases. Edwardian examples follow the same pattern.

What is a sleigh or lit bateau day bed?

It is a frame with scrolled ends of roughly equal height, curving outward like the ends of a boat. Titles use lit bateau, sleigh and Empire style for versions of the same idea. The shape appears on upholstered wooden frames and on iron ones, so it isn't tied to a single material.

Do any day beds fold or adjust?

A few do. Wrought iron folding frames, a fold-down oak one, a military campaign folder and a mahogany steamer bed-chair account for a handful of listings between them. They form a small group of their own rather than a variant of the standard form.

Are cane and iron day beds common?

They run quietly through the archive without ever dominating it. Wrought iron, cast iron and forged iron frames appear, along with a woven wicker example and caned oak and walnut ones. Some cane frames are painted, which puts them close to the French painted group in look if not in construction.
