Craftsmanship & Detail
The bed frame is beautifully decorated in the neoclassical manner with elegant moulded detailing including acanthus friezes, swags, garlands, bellflower drops, and finely shaped apron carving. Both the headboard and footboard feature striking blue and white Wedgwood Jasper-style plaques which create refined focal points and enhance the decorative quality of the piece.
