1940s Italian Double Bed with Carved Sculpted Frame in Cerused Chestnut

About the Item

Double bed, stained cerused chestnut, Italy, 1940s This delightful Italian-made sleeping bed, dating back to the 1940s, is a stunning representation of the artistic craftsmanship associated with fine woodworking. The headboard is the bed's focal point, showcasing a sculpted framework with elegantly carved undulating lines that flow across its width. These sinuous curves not only add a touch of artistic flair but also create a sense of movement and fluidity. The overall silhouette is refined and light, owing to its open-frame design. This construction technique gives the bed an airy quality, making it appear less bulky and more inviting. Despite its delicacy in appearance, the structure is robust and built to last. The construction is crafted from dark-stained cerused chestnut. The cerused finish, a technique involving the application of a contrasting pigment to highlight the wood's natural grain, adds depth and texture to the piece. The design of the bed evokes the style and vocabulary often associated with the Italian designer Paolo Buffa, known for his sophisticated and more natural approach to furniture design.
