The Anchor of the Old Manse Collection ️
The Aesthetic A masterclass in the "Modern Antiquarian" spirit, this 19th-century Spanish Colonial Mahogany bed embodies the lived-in elegance of a South Louisiana manor. Defined by its hand-turned posts, deep-relief medallion carvings, and the rich, darkened patina of aged mahogany, the silhouette is a hallmark of the French Creole tradition—a style famously favored by the legendary architect A. Hays Town. It offers a commanding architectural presence that balances the strength of Spanish colonial influence with refined Southern grace.
The Provenance Acquired from the storied estate of a prominent South Louisiana family based in Lafayette, this bed has been preserved with immense care. It is more than furniture; it is a piece of regional architectural history. (Specific family provenance details are available upon request for the collector's archives).
Design & Heritage
- Era: 19th Century
- Material: Solid Mahogany with hand-carved relief medallions.
- Architecture: Arched headboard featuring ornate medallion carvings and soaring 71.5" pillars.
Sizing & Bespoke Mattress Compatibility
True to its 1800s heritage, this heirloom features unique proportions that offer a grander presence than standard antique frames:
- External Dimensions: 81.5" L x 60" W x 65" H (Pillar Height: 71.5")
- Internal Rail Dimensions: 77" L x 57.5" W
- Mattress Recommendation: A Full XL mattress (54" x 80") provides the ideal length for modern comfort while maintaining the historically accurate width of the mahogany frame. It also accommodates a custom-cut Queen for a bespoke fit.
