Daybed Or Alcove Bed, Louis XVI Period, 18th Century.

Daybed, or guest bed, or alcove, which can be used as a sofa, from the Louis XVI period around 1780,in remarkable condition of the painted lacquer and all its fabric trim**. The decorative ornamental sculptures in the Greek style combine wonderfully with the work of upholstery in thickness called "in tableau". The 4 walls of the bed, the quilted bedspread, the two bolsters and the front of the long side are elegantly covered with a very high quality Louis XVI style toile de Jouy fabric with fine printed patterns of ships in combat, quivers with flags and drums on floral patterns, stylized initials and cartridges, in a raspberry color on a light background dotted with pretty floral patterns.
