Louis XV Rococo Carved Cane Panel Super King Bed — Rose Cartouche Headboard

Design & Inspiration

There is a particular quality of light in a room built around this bed — the hand-woven cane panels, framed in off-white carved wood, seem to breathe. The frame does not impose; it presides. Faithfully reproduced in the tradition of Louis XV Rococo, this super king bed draws from the design vocabulary of mid-18th-century French chambres de parade: the serpentine silhouette of the headboard crest, the fluid S-curves of the side rails, the cartouche of rose carvings that anchors the footboard's center. It is the kind of piece that makes a bedroom feel like a room with genuine intention behind it.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The frame is built from solid pine (kiln-dried to below 10% humidity), hand-carved and finished in a soft off-white painted lacquer that recalls the painted boiserie of the Louis XV interior. The cane panels — spanning the full width of the headboard and the side sections of the footboard — are hand-woven in the classic French petite-point cane pattern, a technique that has not changed since the 18th century. The slat mattress support system is constructed from solid pine, providing firm, even weight distribution across the 200 × 200 cm sleep surface. Every carved rose, every C-scroll, every flowing rail junction is executed by hand in the workshops of Brass & Wood in Egypt.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece that leaves the Brass & Wood workshop is built by artisans who have spent years learning the craft of European classical furniture reproduction. This bed is no exception. The joinery is mortise-and-tenon throughout; the cane is woven panel by panel; the carving is done with hand tools before the painted finish is applied in layers and rubbed back to achieve an even, lasting surface. What you receive is not a factory approximation — it is a handcrafted interpretation of one of history's most enduring bedroom styles, made to last and made to be noticed.
