Sleigh bed

Last updated

A sleigh bed is a style of bed with curved or scrolled foot and headboards, thus resembling a sled or sleigh. [1]

Often made of wood and quite heavy, the sleigh bed is a result of the French and American Empire period of the early 19th century. [2] The Empire style, and thus the American Empire style, drew its inspiration from the empires of ancient Rome and Greece.

Today's sleigh beds are made from a variety of materials including wood, iron, steel and aluminum, and often possess less exaggerated curves of the foot and headboards.
