Louis XV Rococo Revival Ivory Super King Bed with Cane Headboard & Gilt Floral Carving

Design & Inspiration

There is a particular quality to a bedroom anchored by a piece like this — a stillness and ceremony that changes how a room is inhabited. This Super King bed, faithfully reproduced in the Louis XV Rococo Revival tradition, arrives in a room as a fully considered architectural statement. The ivory-painted frame glows softly against any wall, while the arched headboard — its cane weave framed by a carved gilt crest of roses and foliage — gives the piece a silhouette that is unmistakably French and unmistakably refined.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The frame is constructed from solid pine, chosen for its stability and fine grain, then hand-painted in a warm ivory finish and highlighted with antique gold leaf on every carved surface. The headboard's arched cane weave is woven by hand, offering both visual warmth and period authenticity — cane panels were a signature material of 18th-century French salon furniture. The footboard rail is carved with a central floral cartouche flanked by scrolling foliage, and the four cabriole legs, terminating in scroll feet, carry the characteristic S-curve of the Louis XV style. Each carved element is hand-finished, with the antique gold burnished to suggest depth rather than flash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the headboard made from?

The headboard features a hand-woven cane panel set within a carved solid wood arch, crowned with a hand-carved floral and foliate gilt crest. The cane weave is a traditional material used in French 18th-century furniture and adds both visual texture and period authenticity to the piece.

Does this set include a mattress?

No. The set includes the bed frame and two matching nightstands. The slat system is compatible with standard Super King mattresses (200×200 cm). We recommend pairing with a mattress of 25–35 cm depth for ideal proportions.
