Featured New to Antiques, help with bed style?

Hi everyone, I just bought this bed and was told it’s about 100 years old and to care for it by rubbing lemon oil on it....but that’s about it! Was curious if anyone here might recognize the design style, time period, what kind of wood this is...etc. Super interested in its history, but I’ve spent nearly a week googling things and am more confused than when I started! There is a faded signature on the back, but I’m thinking it could be a family’s name that owned it. No other noticeable markings.

 

Looks like 1920s Deco era, probably European

 

I agree,1920s,possibly Italian. Salvatore(?) could be the designer. Lovely bed.

 

Welcome!

 

Thank you! I could look through these posts for hours. I’ve always loved antique malls, I just rarely know what I’m lookin at!

Ghopper- that’s what I was thinking, but then couldn’t find any deco examples that have the metal decorations? Maybe it’s a mutt

Johnny- SALVATORE. You’re probably right! I kept looking at that s as a lower-case g....ha!

 

Think maybe just a bit later 1930s or so. Could be Italian but was also thinking French or Belgian. Center is burl walnut. Border might be Zebrawood.

 

No, not a mutt. The metal mounts used by the manufacturers might vary, but I think the consensus is still that this is an Art Deco, western European bed frame. Nice!!

 

I think this bed would go quite well with the armoire from the other recent topic: https://www.antiquers.com/threads/armoire-insight.21729/

 

It would!

 

Hadn’t come across Zebrawood in my (very remedial) research yet, good insight!

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Hi and WELCOME, Lauren!!! Your bed is Lovely!! I LOVE the wood!!!!
