About the Item

This magnificent 18th-century bed is a stunning example of period craftsmanship and artistry. The bed features intricately carved and gilded wood, demonstrating expert woodworking techniques characteristic of the era. Its headboard showcases a beautifully executed oil painting depicting the biblical scene of Jacob’s Dream, rendered with delicate brushstrokes and exquisite detail. Measuring 200 cm in length, 140 cm in width, and 105 cm in height, this bed is both an artistic centerpiece and a functional piece of furniture. Despite its age, it is in excellent overall condition, with only minimal signs of wear consistent with its historical provenance. While no artist’s signature is visible, the quality of the painting and gilding indicates it was crafted by highly skilled artisans. This piece would be an extraordinary addition to any collection or as a statement piece in a home with a penchant for historical elegance.
