An Unusual Carved Walnut Daybed Related To A Design By Thomas Hope
-
Description
Probably Low Counties.
The bed terminating in two carved swans flanking a conforming caned headrest, One crossbar that retains caning to headrest is an old replacement; the foot of the bed decorated by two carved figures of greyhounds on each side, all above a fluted frieze, the whole raised on eight tapering fluted legs, each headed with a square capital and terminating in a brass caster. Slots at head and bottom of seat have very old wood infills. This may suggest that a design reconfiguration occurred early on in this piece's history. Old repairs to underside of frame. Old re-caning. Upholstered circa 40 years ago in an ochre leather, with cylindrical ochre leather pillow. - More Information
