Empire-Style Gilt-Bronze-Mounted Mahogany Bed

early 20th century, in the Egyptian Revival taste, the paneled headboard flanked by fluted columns and supporting a cornice with a broken-arch pediment crest adorned with a bronze laurel wreath and ribbon, with bronze molding framing the panels, the rails with leaf and vine mounts, the tripartite footboard with mounts in each panel.
h. 62", inside w. 61-1/4", l. 77", outside w. 69-1/2", l. 82-1/4"

In "as found" condition. Some of the bronze mounts are missing, including one capital from the headboard column, one rosette from the rail and one rosette from the footboard, and one ring at the base of the headboard column. Several other mounts are off but present. Scattered dings and imperfections from age and use. The bed and many of its parts are currently disassembled.
