An Italian Carved Giltwood Bedstead with Baldachin, Headboard and Drapes

18th/19th Century and Later

the canopy with an anthemion-carved frieze

Height 114 x width 65 x depth 86 inches.

The present lot is from a non-smoking home that did not have any pets. The bed is sturdy and presents well. The upholstered headboard was added later and there are some areas of discoloration to the upholstery where the bedposts rested against the fabric.
The gilt and gessoed bedposts are of spiral form with polychrome armorial carvings. The baldachin is carved with acanthus and egg and dart molding. The gilding and paint is faded and rubbed throughout the bedposts, baldachin, and rails, and there are various chips and losses to the gilt and gessoed surface as well as stable age-related shrinkage cracks to the wood. The fabric is in good condition throughout with no noticeable stains, tears, or weak areas.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition.
