19th Century French Louis XVI Painted Queen Bed is a splendid combination of style, form and function!  Hand-crafted from imported mahogany, it has been elegantly carved to reflect the neoclassical revival style, and finally painted in an ivory white that has achieved a lovely patina over the past century.  With rails extended by our expert in-house staff, and four extra-sturdy slats installed, it's ready to soldier on for another century or more with a modern Queen mattress set for your sublime comfort.  The apron on the footboard features subtle scrolls and carved details, repeated on the side rails, and is supported by scrolled legs carved with acanthus plumes.  Three caned panels on the footboard are framed by spiral ribbon molding, then flanked by banded wheat motifs on the rounded cornerposts, topped with sunflower rosettes.  The headboard complements the footboard with similar treatment, but with an arched crown carved with acanthus scrolls, florals, and a gardening sculpture at the center top which depicts gardening tools, a hat, and horn, all in deference to the Queen who was an ardent admirer of formal gardens.
