About the Item

This beautiful bed is crafted from rich, warm-colored mahogany wood and elegantly decorated with gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts. In its style, this bed is inspired by furniture design of the French Louis XVI period (1774-1793). The bed is composed of a tall headboard which is connected to a footboard by a bottom rail, and which is set on four feet. The bed’s headboard is topped by a shaped crest rail which is decorated with a gilt bronze motif, composed of a wreath, a burning torch crossed with a quiver of arrows, and a foliage branch. Gilt bronze pinecone finials decorate the ends of the headboard’s top rail. The upper section of the headboard is mounted with an openwork gilt bronze frieze which features stylized scrolled vines, inhabited by fauns playing musical instruments, birds, and animals. The frieze is centred on a classical mask which is flanked by a pair of goats. Gilt bronze square rosettes decorate the corners of the frieze. Below, the main area of the headboard is left plain and is framed by a gilt bronze border, with rosettes in its corners. The headboard is flanked by classical columns with gilt bronze bases and capitals. The upper sections of the columns are fluted and their flutes partially filled with gilt bronze husk trails. The side bottom rails of the bed are decorated with gilt bronze bands and foliate motifs, composed of bows and arrows, quivers, flower trails, burning torches and wreaths. This rail links the headboard to the footboard, which is shorter in height. The footboard’s top rail is edged with a gilt bronze band and topped, on its corners, with foliate finials. The upper section of the board is, like the bed, decorated with an openwork gilt bronze frieze of scrolled and inhabited vines. At the centre of the footboard, there is a panel which is decorated with gilt bronze flower trails and swags, centred on a wreath. The footboard is flanked by a pair of cable fluted columns, their flutes filled with gilt bronze husk trails. The columns feature gilt bronze bases and capitals, and they’re topped by waisted, twisted and fluted gilt bronze features. The front bottom rail is decorated in a similar style to the sides. Short turned and tapered legs, on simple gilt bronze feet, raise the bed off the ground.

Neoclassical Federal-Style Twin Bed Frame

By Dixie

Located in Trenton, NJ

This vintage twin bed frame embodies the timeless elegance of the Neoclassical and Federal traditions, with clean architectural lines, crisp painted accents, and refined decorative details. Designed with a strong sense of symmetry and proportion, the bed blends the formality of early American style with a touch of playful painted charm. The headboard and footboard are crafted from solid wood, offering durability as well as a warm foundation for the painted finish. Both pieces are accented by subtle carved finials at each corner, nodding to the classical columns and urns that inspired Federal furniture makers. Finished in a soft blue with contrasting white trim, the bed has a graceful two-tone look that highlights its frame while keeping the aesthetic light and airy. Connecting the structure are sturdy metal side rails, a feature often seen in 20th-century reproductions of early American beds...
