Emulating the English taste, this extraordinary bed was fashioned of rosewood, for a very wealthy Indian family. It features bold mosque-form finials atop the four reeded, tapered posts, a pierced crest over Chippendale style horizontal slat fretwork on the headboard and robustly carved lion's paw feet. Of magnificent size, the addition of bed steps is welcome. A bed for a "bigger-than-life" connoisseur! Naturally, it does require a custom mattress.
