Headboard with Cast Bronze Sculpture by Frigerio, Italy, 1968
Headboard with cast bronze sculpture, model "Reggie" by Frigerio, Italy, 1968.
The headboard comprises a large sand-cast sculpture of repeating patterns. The sculpture is fixed to steel posts, with brass finish and a stylish shaped bronze finial. The sculpture has tones of deep rose-gold and is described by Frigerio as "bronzo rosato".
The piece is in very nice vintage condition with age-appropriate signs of wear, including light scratches and minor losses to the finish of the headboard frame, and patina to the bronze. The structure of the sculpture is not supported by cross braces, and the sculpture flexes slightly front to back. The sculpture is screwed to the bed frame in four places; it appears it could be unscrewed and used separately, though we have not tried to do so.
Approximate dimensions:
Sculpture H 63 cm x W 167 cm x D 0.7 cm width excludes fixing brackets
Headboard H 118 cm W 178 cm x D 6cm measurements taken at the finials
