< | Ralph Lauren Bed "Desert Hollywood Collection" | >

 

Description
This hand-carved, 19th century-style, bed prototype evokes a bygone era when European craftsman came to the U.S. seeking a better life. Commissioned by Ralph Lauren Home Furnishings and Henredon Furniture Company, Hulley Woodworking fabricated this bed for the April 1996 High Point, NC Furniture Market. One of only two beds produced, this queen-sized prototype was eventually destroyed when it was cut into pieces to be used as the carving model for a production run of the bed. Though ultimately the bed was never mass-produced, another prototype -- a king-sized version, was sold to a private individual and is the only copy left in existence.

Features
• antique gold leaf finish.
• solid mahogany construction with hand-carved details.
