Pale Blonde Louis XV Bedroom Set with Marble Tops

A softly blonde suite finished in a pale, almost unpainted tone that leaves the grain and the carving fully visible. The bed carries a tall shaped headboard with a plain upholstered centre panel bordered by a hand-carved frame and topped by a pierced scrolled crest, while a wide drawer glides out from beneath the base for linens. Each bedside commode stands on slender cabriole legs that finish in carved scroll feet, its single deep drawer faced with a flowing acanthus scroll and fitted with an aged brass bail handle, all under a shaped marble top with a moulded edge.

The frames are carved from solid timber and hand-finished in a matte pale lacquer that keeps the surface velvety rather than glossy, with the marble tops cut and polished to follow the serpentine outline of each case. Handcrafted by Brass & Wood in Egypt, the set suits a light, calm bedroom - pale walls, blue or ivory linen, a patterned rug underfoot - where the under-bed drawer quietly solves storage in rooms that have no space for a large chest.
