Rich golden hues set against the neutral of the room. The bed was custom-made by Paganelli of Umbria, Italy. It is hand-distressed, lacquered Italian walnut in a queen size. It also has the matching nightstand.
The art above the bed between the posts is Ballo by Fratelli Taccini. Surrounded by greens and doves, it depicts a scene reflected by the artist Alessandro Taccini when he was in Spain. During a street festival, a younger man asks a more mature woman to dance. She declines, urging him to dance with someone his own age. He persists and she reluctantly accepts. As their dance progresses, the woman remembers the long-forgotten moves and the feelings of her youth and a time gone by and once again lives in those moments. It is a piece in solid terra cotta, accented with real gold leaf and Alessandro’s signature tree of life.
The linens on the bed are from Busatti‘s Avignone collection. In golden linen and cotton, the fabrics have a suble sophistication and elegance. The throw at the end of the bed has the hand-crocheted lace for which the Italians are famous. Sheeting is pure Irish linen, very fresh and soft to the touch, but not the cheap fibers that break apart and fuzz up after one use. These pieces will last a lifetime!
Panels on the bed are also of the Busatti fabric. The pattern is Giglio: 100% linen in an exquisite pattern. What makes this fabric perfect for the bed is that it is mildly opaque, lending its jacquard pattern only in gentle lighting. Thus the pattern does not overwhelm the room.
This room becomes warm and inviting with comfort and elegance. Its casual play with light and art give make it a place you can find immediate respite.
