Louis XV-style Footboard – - Louis XV-style Footboard – Handcrafted by the prestigious French institution Ateliers Allot, this brand new Louis XV-style ”Bed Vénitien” footboard is a masterfully crafted solid beechwood piece that embodies the ornate charm of 18th-century Rococo design. Finished in a soft white antique lacquer with gold highlights, the frame features hand-carved floral garlands and acanthus scrolls centered by a luxurious blue fabric panel with decorative nailhead trim.
