Rococo Gold Leaf Bedroom Set
At OE-FASHION Furniture, the Rococo Gold Leaf Bedroom Set represents the apex of our wood-carving capabilities. Unlike simplified modern reproductions, this suite adheres to the fluid, asymmetrical geometry of the Louis XV period. It is engineered to function as a unified architectural system for luxury residential master suites or bridal suites in heritage hotels.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The dominant visual feature is the curvilinear “S-scroll” (Cabriole) leg, which supports the nightstands and dressing table. This organic form distributes weight without the visual heaviness of block legs. The headboard acts as the focal plane, featuring a complex carved crest rail that flows seamlessly into the side wings. The upholstery is executed in a deep-buttoned (Capitonné) technique, providing both acoustic absorption and a textural counterpoint to the rigid, metallic finish of the frame.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
The structural frame is hewn from kiln-dried solid beech wood, essential for supporting the intricate high-relief carving without fracture.
- Gilding Technique: We utilise a traditional finishing process where the gold leaf is applied over a base of red clay (bole). The finish is then hand-rubbed to reveal subtle hints of the red undertone, creating a warm, museum-grade patina that mimics centuries of aging.
- Surface Durability: The nightstands and dressing table are fitted with natural marble tops (Crema Marfil or similar). This provides an impermeable surface resistant to cosmetic spills and heat, protecting the delicate gold leaf timber underneath.
- Load Path: The bed frame utilises a hidden steel sub-structure to connect the side rails, ensuring that the decorative carved legs are not subjected to lateral shear forces during use.
Functional Integration
The nightstands feature two deep drawers running on concealed soft-close slides, merging 18th-century aesthetics with 21st-century utility. The dressing table is configured with a central knee-hole and flanking storage pedestals, optimizing ergonomics for seated use. The accompanying mirror is wall-mounted independently, allowing for height adjustment based on the user’s eye line or ceiling cornice height.
Installation & Project Constraints
The gold leaf finish is sensitive to skin oils and abrasion. We recommend handling with cotton gloves during installation. The marble tops are crated separately to reduce the weight of the nightstand chassis during transport; assembly requires silicone adhesion on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the gold finish real metal?
A: Yes, we use genuine imitation gold leaf or 22k gold leaf (upon request), applied by hand. It is not a spray-painted finish, ensuring depth and luster.
Q: Can the headboard size be adjusted?
A: Yes. We can scale the carving proportions to fit King, Super King, or Emperor mattress widths without distorting the Rococo motifs.
Q: How do I clean the velvet?
A: We recommend regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. For stains, use a professional dry cleaning service, as water can mark the velvet pile.
