Bought at an antique store in Northern California. Was told it was French and since the mattresses were shorter 100 years ago, I had a piece put on each side rail to accommodate a U.S. queen size mattress. Antique dealer told me recently that the bed frame is 1920's WALNUT BURL, NAPOLEON III STYLE. It's in excellent condition and ready to have your queen mattress inserted! According to 1st Dibs, Napoleon III Beds and BedFrames: Under Napoleon III’s rule, Paris underwent a great rebuilding overseen by Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, which created grand avenues and lavish landmarks like the Paris Opera. Antique Napoleon III–style furniture was flamboyant and eclectic. It was also known as Second Empire style since it followed and referenced the Empire style of his uncle Napoleon I. Spurge on yourself, enjoy this beautiful bed frame! Shipping details are not final as I have not had bed weighed yet. Cost to ship may be more or less.
