£1,895
Price History
Description
The Gustavian collection pays tribute to the kinship that exists between French and Swedish furniture designs. Celebrating the visual dialogue between the two historical designs is the Gustavian Upholstered Bed. Inspired by the clean-lined architectural Gustavian form, the bed features geometric profiles defined by a simple silhouette. Crafted from solid ash wood and finished with a mild and light distemper, paired with tailored pale ivory linen upholstery, finished with piped edges. This Gustavian bed offers a sleek, streamlined and contemporary take on the classic and historic Gustavian design. The hand-carved and carefully considered design details create a perfect aesthetic of natural, refined elegance. The siderails and footend feature horizontal hand-carved fluting with stepped inset corners that emulate the same stepped design on the shoulders of the headboard and footboard. Distinguished by acorn corner finials, this timeless upholstered bed is expertly constructed with enduring beauty; over time the ash wood will weather to develop a rich patina that only the authenticity of time can evoke.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Gustavian light wood bed for its timeless, understated elegance and versatility. Its large emperor size makes it a statement piece that works particularly well in classic and rustic interiors, but it can also complement more eclectic or Scandinavian schemes with its clean lines and soft finish. For styling, consider pairing it with crisp linen bedding and layered textures to enhance its relaxed, refined vibe. To create a more lived-in look, add vintage textiles or a cosy throw across the end of the bed. This piece’s muted tone offers flexibility, so it pairs effortlessly with colour palettes ranging from soft neutrals to bold hues, making it a highly adaptable choice for various interior styles.
