Louis XV Rococo Revival Solid Wood Super King Bed - Scrolled Frame in Gloss White

Design & Inspiration

There is a moment when you step into a bedroom and the bed stops you. Not by its size alone, but by the authority of its form. This super king bed, faithfully reproduced in the tradition of the French Louis XV Rococo Revival, carries precisely that quality. The sinuous crest rail of the headboard rises and falls in a confident sweep, the carved rocaille ornamentation along the footboard's apron adds rhythmic movement without excess, and the whole frame rests on compact cabriole-style legs that are entirely correct for the period. Everything about this piece was designed to be the room's center of gravity.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The frame is constructed from solid pine with a moisture content below 10%, ensuring dimensional stability across seasons and climates. The wood has been finished in a deep, high-gloss white lacquer — not a painted effect but a built-up, hand-rubbed lacquer process that gives the surface its porcelain-like depth. The carved ornamental apron along the footboard and the subtle shell-like relief at the headboard's crest are executed by hand, then integrated seamlessly into the lacquered finish so that the carving reads as architecture, not decoration. The slat support system is engineered for a 200 × 200 cm mattress and distributes weight evenly across the frame.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every Brass & Wood bed is built by hand in our Egyptian workshop, where craftsmen trained in classical European joinery techniques work each piece from raw timber through final lacquer. The Rococo Revival carving vocabulary — the foliate scrolls, the shaped apron, the gentle undulations of the rails — requires a skilled hand that no machine can replicate. This is furniture made to outlast trends and, with proper care, to be passed down. It ships fully kiln-dried and finished, requiring only assembly on site.
