Furniture Fashion has reported on some really sharp traditional beds this week from Burnhardt, and here is another outstanding canopy bed from Henredon. The St Regis collection is the newest knock out from a leader in American traditional furniture that throws any hint of cost cutting aside and creates the antiques of tomorrow. I would buy the St Regis bedroom set myself as it exudes a really masculine quality which gets inspiration from "turn-of-the-century gentlemen's clubs on both sides of the Atlantic." To pay homage to the original designs Henredon used mahogany, brass, leather, stone and rosewood to create the St Regis collection.
