It is a single bed, made entirely of wrought iron, in original patina.
The headboard and footboard are much higher than the frame, a typical situation of the 19th century. Both are made of wrought iron, with a sinuous curl insert.
The side bars are made with a sinuous and whimsical curl work, typical of the Baroque period.
There are 4 feet and they too follow the style of the decoration: in fact, they are slightly softened and curved, creating a wonderfully sensual curl.
The crib is ideal for Baroque settings. less
