Antique beds, French antiques, antique breton beds, carved breton beds, king and queen size beds and also replica beds. Breton beds were made by the craftsmen of Brittany. They are characterised by their decorative carvings. These carvings depict scenes from Breton life, showing lovers' meetings, family events and country scenes.
You have to admire the superb craftsmanship of the Breton beds - intricate views of a room or village, showing the everyday life of country folk. Lovingly made from wood grown locally such as beech, walnut and oak, sometimes fruit woods, the designs were carved onto the bed head and foot. Walnut is a particularly good wood to carve as its dark brown wood is hard and has a smooth grain, so it is easier to cut intricate designs.
