About the Item

An exceptional example of Italian craftsmanship from the late 1960s, this bed combines refined materials, strong decorative presence, and meticulous artisanal execution. The structure is crafted in richly figured burl wood, enhanced by elegant brass details, Italian cane panels, and distinctive leather laces finishing the corners. The result is a sophisticated and highly decorative piece that perfectly reflects the luxurious Italian manufacturing tradition of the period. The "Marango" bed stands out for its refined combination of natural textures and precious materials. The warmth and depth of the burl wood are beautifully contrasted by the brass accents, while the woven cane elements add lightness and architectural rhythm to the design. The leather lacing details further emphasize the artisanal quality of the piece, giving it a unique and recognizable character. Designed for a luxury bedroom interior, this bed offers both visual impact and functional elegance. Currently unique on the market and extremely rare, this model was produced as part of Smania's early high-end production and was considered a luxury piece already at the time, also due to its elevated original retail price. The bed is in excellent vintage condition, as shown in the photos, with only minimal signs of age and use consistent with its period. These minor traces do not affect its functionality or overall aesthetic value. Dimensions of the Bed Frame. Width 185 cm / 72.8 in - Depth 210 cm / 82.7 in - Height 76 cm / 29.9 in Its proportions make it suitable for a standard European double mattress measuring 160 x 190 cm / 63 x 74.8 in.
