Napoleon III Rococo Revival Hand-Painted Ivory Bedroom Set - Polychrome Floral Carved Suite

Design & Inspiration

Enter the room and the ivory ground catches your eye first — not as a blank surface, but as a canvas. Across the footboard, the headboard crest, and every drawer panel, hand-painted pink and blue floral bouquets bloom with the unhurried confidence of a 19th-century Parisian atelier. This is a Napoleon III Rococo Revival bedroom set, faithfully reproduced in the tradition of the Second Empire's most romantic interiors, where the ebullience of Rococo ornament was revived not in dark lacquer but in pale, luminous tones that turned a bedroom into a garden pavilion.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Every piece in this four-part suite — king bed, pair of nightstands, and triple-mirror dressing table — is constructed from solid pine at controlled humidity, ensuring dimensional stability in Egypt's variable climate. The frames are finished in an ivory lacquer ground, then decorated by hand: gilt scrollwork traced in gold leaf defines the S-curves and C-scrolls that give the suite its Rococo silhouette, while polychrome floral clusters — roses, forget-me-nots, and trailing leafwork in soft pink, sky blue, and sage — are painted freehand onto each panel. Three-dimensional carved resin flower appliqués are applied at the frame edges, drawer surrounds, and headboard crest, adding sculptural depth that photography barely captures. The headboard presents a tall scrolled cartouche upholstered in ivory linen, its perimeter garlanded with carved and painted florals. The footboard mirrors the language of the headboard in lower relief, completing a frame that reads as a single sculptural composition.

Dimensions & Details

This listing covers the complete bedroom set (bed frame, two nightstands, dressing table with triple mirror). The bed accommodates a King 180×200 cm mattress on a solid slat support system. Each nightstand provides one upper drawer and one cabinet door. The dressing table features a central knee-hole flanked by two pedestals with drawers and cabinet doors, topped by a tri-fold mirror with an arched, carved crest. Exact unit dimensions are available on request.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Brass & Wood produces this suite in Egypt, where a team of woodworkers, carvers, and painters collaborate on each piece from raw timber to finished lacquer. The hand-painting is executed in the atelier tradition — each flower positioned by eye, each scroll traced by hand — making no two suites precisely identical. The result is a bedroom that carries the character of a made object, not a manufactured one. Customization of finish color, floral palette, and bed size is available on request.
