Louhan Bed

This impressive Louhan bed was made in Beijing and is a modern interpretation of an ancient design. Popular during the Ming Dynasty for their elegant form and sturdy but lightweight design, the beds were easy to move from room to room but were usually placed in a scholar’s study or bedroom. The back and side rails are carved from huanghuali wood in intricate latticework patterns; the sword motif legs and beautifully scalloped aprons support the soft caned seat.
