Made by one if the most celebrated master furniture makers in French history, signed by the firm which was lead by François-Honoré Jacob-Desmalter (1770-1841) at the time, this bed is a rare example of the restoration style, circa 1825. The quality of the wood is close to the apex of mahogany domestic furniture at the time, and the gilded bronze design is a short lived and unique, examples of which are rare.
As usual, I hope this video will preserve a trace of this work of art online, shedding light on the subject of « antiques » as a whole. Discussions of works of decorative art, the best pre industrial period pieces from a timeline that stretches from the Renaissance to the year 1840, focusing on these pieces will inform the collecting of new enthusiasts and or anyone decorating their home.
Many thanks for watching, and a special thank you to all subscribers!
