The Theodore Alexander The Middleton Rice Bed is a carved mahogany rice bed modeled on an 18th-century American original and made to anchor a formal primary bedroom. Its serpentine arched headboard with a moulded edge is flanked by baluster turned posts carved with acanthus leaves and rice motifs and topped with urn finials, while the figured mahogany rails meet the posts with brass rosettes. Offered in Queen and King, it suits a homeowner who wants a bed with real presence and traditional detail.
Design & Craftsmanship
Khaya wood and khaya veneer form the frame, with figured mahogany rails, and the Southampton 75 finish (VCF663) lets the carving on the posts catch the light in relief. Rice carving, the motif that gives 18th-century American rice beds their name, runs up each baluster, and the removable posts make it easier to bring the bed through a condo corridor or up a stair. From the Essential collection, the Theodore Alexander The Middleton Rice Bed makes sense in a high-ceilinged Coral Gables home or a Pinecrest primary suite where the 90-inch posts have room to rise, and other Middleton bedroom pieces are offered in the same finish for a coordinated room.
