Empire Rosette Sleigh Bed
Empire Rosette
Our reproduction of an early American Empire sleigh bed has the elegant lines and refined proportions that are a hallmark of the era. Ornamented with carved rosettes at the corner – a design used since ancient Greece – the bed stands on elegant turned baluster legs, fluted in reference to classic columns. Each piece is carefully finished by hand in distressed antique grey using a 16-step process to achieve the look of a weathered antique.

- Hand-built of kiln-dried solid hardwood
- Mortise-and-tenon joinery
- Imperfections and nicks are to be expected, and part of the wood's character
- Wood slat support system; requires a standard mattress and box spring
