About the Item

Antique Italian Neoclassical Painted QUEEN Bed is a splendid expression of the classical style that dates back three thousand years! Even the French embraced the style during the reign of Louis XVI, but in reality it never really went out of fashion. This example, with rectilinear headboard, rails and centermost portion of the footboard, is softened into the room with the introduction of radiused curves a the lower portion of the footboard's sides to connect to the rails. Beautifully carved molded detail appears in abundance across the entire framework, including spiral ribbon, egg and tongue dart, with a particularly resplendent vine relief across the top of the headboard that is amazingly intricate. As it is supposed to be, the footboard steals the show, designed to take front stage in the room, and featuring an exquisite torchere set in a pair of concentric wheat wreaths set upon a raised panel surrounded by fine molding and accented at each corner with a rosette. The entire affair is framed by a pair of Doric capitals appearing over fluted and reeded pilasters adorned with floral garlands above and a bold rosette below. A curved corbel connects the pilaster around the radius to the rail, itself adorned with foliates and a bold elongated oval sunflower rosette. Support is provided by tapered and carved legs, and all the carving has been lovingly accentuated with gold highlighting to contrast it against the sedate almond color of the paneling and woodwork. The rails have been slightly extended so the bedframe will easily accommodate a modern Queen size mattress set, making it ideal for creating a bedroom you'll never forget! circa early 1900s Headboard measures 53H x 62W; footboard is 30H x 58W; total length 91 inches.
