This page covers the classic white bedroom style once presented here under the Avenanti name: solid wood, gold or silver patina and decoration applied by hand. It shows how to reach the same look with a carved fretwork bed, a gilded chest and an open cherry nightstand from Francesco Pasi.

The decoration that defines this style

This style is defined by hand work on solid wood: gold or silver patina, painting and engraving. Those touches separate a classic bedroom from a plain painted one. When choosing current pieces, look for the same hand-applied metal leaf. Decide early between gold and silver, because the choice should repeat on every decorated piece in the room. A white base shows both metals clearly.

Carved bed and gilded chest

The Opera Bed 3066 by Francesco Pasi is carved by hand from 80 mm solid wood, and its headboard centres on a fretwork panel. Gold leaf or silver leaf options let it match a white room with either metal. The Gran Guardia Chest of Drawers, 3 Drawers from the same maker has hand carving, hand-applied gold or silver leaf and drawers on runners. Our luxury bedroom furniture sets group them by room.

An open nightstand for lighter corners

An open nightstand keeps the bedside airy and leaves space for books. The New Deco Open Nightstand by Francesco Pasi has 60 mm solid cherry uprights and a back in Tanganyika walnut plywood, 8 mm. It comes in cherry, white, grey or sand lacquer, or Luxury. For living and dining rooms, see our luxury italian furniture.
