An exquisite and extremely rare bed by the italian 1940s art deco designer Guglielmo Ulrich produced by Valzania in book-matching burl/bird eye maple wood and black ridged feet.
This documented import of a king size bed has a grand and very glamours design with the headboard pointed curves giving a throne like elegance. The book-matching details have been done masterfully and that can be seen on the back of the headboard with strips of veneer.
The bed comes with two wooden slats(not in the pictures) that insert on the side frame and you can put the metal frame on top.It takes a classic EU double size mattress.
This bed is a fine example of the lustrous glamour of late 1940s Art Deco European design. A piece that can still be used and cherished in a modern bedroom home if accessorised right.
This piece is rarely seen in the market and never spotted in the UK before!
The same model in parchment is seen in the original brochure and magazine advertisements of the times.
It would benefit restoration/refinish/varnish which we can help you on this.
Video of the bedframe also available.
