Double bed

Normal measures of the double bed obtained from the unification of the two head-boards (“spaddieri”) and two footboards of a single bed. The four elements that compound it are decorated with oil painting, with female figures of a very delicate aspect and movements and green/pink floral patterns.

The bed, that is called “lettu granni” (big bed) in the Sicilian dialect, is an essential element of the furniture because of its practical use. It is situated inside the bedroom and at its sides there are almost always the bedside tables that in the past were made of wood with a little case and a door. The mattress full of wool was put on some tables sustained by the “trìspiti” that is, two wooden planks leaned on iron bases with the feet of a middle moon shape.
