The defining structural detail, clearly visible in the archival publication, is the sweeping, continuous bent-malacca joint connecting the legs to the upper frame, offering both architectural lightness and exceptional stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with heavy hand-bent malacca wood frames and open woven rattan lattice headboards and footboards, these versatile daybeds function as twin single beds, standalone lounge daybeds, or joined together into an expansive sectional sofa arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConservative Restoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meticulously restored using period-correct natural rattan cane to replace missing or worn woven parts while maintaining historical authenticity. Frames and malacca leg joints are completely rigid, sturdy, and stable. Professionally cleaned, deep-conditioned, and sanitized. The warm, natural amber patina developed over decades is preserved and protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean natural rattan and malacca frames?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDust regularly using a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner or a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust from the woven lattice. For deeper cleaning, wipe down with a well-wrung cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then wipe completely dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow can I prevent the rattan from drying out or splitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural fibers require balanced ambient humidity. Keep the daybeds away from direct, high-heat sources like radiators or fireplaces. To keep the rattan supple and elastic over decades, apply a thin layer of natural lemon oil or specialized rattan conditioner once a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these suitable for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are vintage interior design pieces. While suitable for covered verandas or sunrooms protected from rain, they should remain indoors to preserve the natural wood and historic patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eW.200 \/ H.80 - 70 \/ D.88 (cm) - \u003cstrong\u003eSuitable mattres 190 x 80 cm (not included)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePRICE FOR THE PAIR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_dda3618c\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping (front door at ground floor) from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"shp-dest__origin-country\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e warehouse to : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"552\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 271.333px;\"\u003eITALY 150 €  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 264.667px;\"\u003e1 - 2 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 271.333px;\"\u003eEUROPE 249 €\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 264.667px;\"\u003e2 - 3 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 271.333px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWORLDWIDE\u003c\/p\u003e\n(USA, UK, Swiss, Norway, Sweden, China, Korea etc..)\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 264.667px;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Worldwide shipping quotation\" href=\"https:\/\/ilrestaurato.com\/pages\/contats\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #303030;\"\u003erequest a quote\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding-top: 15px; font-style: italic; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.4;\" colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-style: normal;\"\u003eOur shipments are always professionally packed using high-quality cardboard or custom-made, certified wooden crates and cages tailored to each specific item.
