Neoclassical Italian daybed from the 19th century, trompe-l'œil decoration, roses and mother-of-pearl.

An exceptional daybed in neoclassical style, imported from Italy at the end of the 19th century. Its arched head and foot, adorned with spherical blackened wood apples, give it a true presence. The trompe-l'œil decoration, hand-painted, perfectly imitates the grains of precious wood, with its spectacular concentric circles. At the center of each panel, a chromolithographed vase of roses is surrounded by garlands, bows, ochre acanthus leaves, and cream fillets. Inlaid mother-of-pearl shards play with the light. The head is crowned with a patinated black metal pediment decorated with foliage. The iron rails are pierced with three arches, and the foot features a lovely scalloped apron with fillets. Delivered with mattress and box spring, it is ready to welcome a bedroom, a guest room, or a reading nook, with plenty of character. Dimensions: L 200 × W 89 cm. Height of head: 180 cm. Height of foot: 111 cm.
