Description
A stunning piece of African history,this large antique Senufo bed from Côte d'Ivoire is a rare and exceptional find. Hand-carved from a single block of hardwood, this authentic African bed exemplifies the minimalist elegance and sculptural craftsmanship of the Senufo people. Beds of this size are increasingly rare, as they are traditionally carved from a single massive hardwood log and used for both ceremonial and daily purposes.
This antique tribal bed features a polished horizontal plank base, supported by four sturdy, cone-shaped legs. The slightly raised headrest enhances both comfort and functionality, reflecting the traditional craftsmanship of West African artisans.
With its aged patina, natural cracks, and signs of wear, this antique African bed tells a story of time and use, adding authentic character to any space. Whether styled as a statement coffee table, bench, or daybed, this versatile and collectible piece brings a rich, rustic touch of African heritage to your home, patio, or interior design project.
