| Fog swirls over the moat, the dense air hanging breathlessly in the early morning hours. The drawbridge lowers...bidding entry to the horsemen who ride silently in. Inside, the queen readies her court, donning her crown and holding her scepter proudly aloft as she waits to greet her unexpected visitors. The Scepter bed practically inspires you to dream of knights and adventures. It is a stately bed, imbued with a romance. Four posts stand like soldiers at the corners. Intricate dark gold scalloped feet are balanced by gold Faberge-egg shaped finials. The 53" camelback headboard and33" footboard are secured to the posts by cast bands that are highlighted by the same aged gold giving the bed a regal touch. Wide sweeping curves curl like a royal signature, ending in plumes. But the most striking aspect of the entire bed lies with the cast roping that drapes from the top of the camelback curves to the lowest part. Cascading from miniature shields, the twisted metal gracefully ends at triple bands. This gives the Scepter that crowning touch of elegance.The Scepter is finished in Aged Bronze. Basically, the entire bed is sheathed in this matte metallic covering. The cool finish actually gives the illusion of a knight's armor. Touches of dark gold pinpoint key areas of the bed that are exceptional; the feet, finials, cast bands, roping, miniature shields and plumes. This is a bed that definitely gives a commanding presence to a bedroom. |
