The side and foot frame elements are in an enameled finish, we can have the side and foot rails reenameled in a choice of colours such as white should you wish the rails to match the color of the nightstands ..

By the age of 25, he had trained with many of the master craftsmen of his day. He would visit their workshops when pieces were being made for luminaries such as Gio` Ponti, Franco Albini and Carlo de Carli and apply what he had learned to his own furniture. The results were highly original, eclectic pieces, masterful in their use of color, finish and detail. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Frigerio di Desio showrooms opened in cities all over Italy and Mr Frigerio himself completed many private commissions, among them two hand-carved lecterns for Pope John XXIII, which are still in the Basilica di San Pietro e Paolo in Rome today.
