Stunning Brass Sculptural Form Double Bed by Angelo Brotto, Esperia, 1970, Italy

About the Item

Beautifully crafted brass double bed by Italian artist Angelo Brotto. The headboard and foot rail feature a wonderful heavy brass sculptural form interlocking loop motif with incised detailing in excellent condition The two side rails are finished in gold color powder coat enamel and are also in very good condition. Angelo Brotto (1914 - 2002), was a Venetian designer and artist. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice in 1941. In the 1960s and 1970s, Brotto became known for his special lighting designs in collaboration with the Italian company Esperia, he won many international prizes. Quote from Esperia's catalogue: 'Esperia was founded in 1952 in Poggibonsi, Siena. At first Esperia produced lighting fixtures for the bath environment, but starting in the 1960s the firm branched out across the whole technical lighting sector, thanks to remarkable structural and productive growth. During this period Esperia also began a fertile, lasting relationship with Prof. Angelo Brotto. The historical period of reference is the late 1960s, when the artist began to explore the idea of making works that could act as a point of contact between furniture and lighting design and artistic compositions. The brass posts,, side rail brackets and rails which encase the sculptural elements exhibit some areas of spotting and tarnishing to the brass finish unfortunately this is how genuine and unrestored examples are nearly always found probably due to excessive polishing over the years wearing the brass plate on these elements. The main important sculptural motif elements however are in excellent order and overall the bed still has great visual appeal. Please ask for additional detail photos. This bed was originally designed to have an inset bespoke self-supporting box mattress frame which can be made to order. Matress dimensions: 67.32" wide X 77.16" long X 14.17" high or 171 cm wide x 196 cm long x 36 cm high.

Sculptural form brass day bed by Osvaldo Borsani, Arredamento Borsani, circa 1958

By Arredamenti Borsani, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Osvaldo Borsani

Located in bergen op zoom, NL

Beautiful and important sculpturakl form brass single bed or day bed circa 1958-1963 by Osvaldo Borsani for 'Arredamento Borsani', Varedo , Italy. The small series of Borsani beds designed were produced in several different designs ,each in very limited numbers and all hand made by the Arredamento Borsani in Varedo, italy. This series of beds never went into serial industrial production , a fact confirmed to me by the Arredamento Borsani archives. Beginning in the late 1950s,Osvaldo Borsani went on to collaborate with many great artists such as Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu and Arnaldo Pomodoro, amongst others entrusting each to provide decorative elements to his designs. The brass headboard features a series of heavy cast solid brass interlocking geometric elements each featuring a beautiful organic three dimensional surface finish creating a supremely elegant and timeless repetitive motif . The bed still retains all its original decorative brass nuts ,bolts and finials which feature the same three dimensional decorative finish as the decorative sculptural forms contained in the headboard. We have had a new bespoke mattress and bolster pillow made with a natural latex foam surface as they would have originally had which also has the benefit that latex breathes. The mattress has an opulent decorative buttoned finish . Botht the mattress and pillow have been finished in 100% wool 'PLOEGWOOL' fabric by the high quality Dutch fabric manufacturer DE PLOEG. MATTRESS DIMENSIONS : Width 100cm x length 200cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 6ft 6.74inch BOLSTER PILLOW DIMENSIONS: Width 100cm diameter 24cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 9.45inch The mattress is supported on a 20mm ( 0.75 inch ) thick plywood board ,with breathing holes, which spans across the transverse brass plated steel frame elements. When used as a day bed SEATING...
