Diego Rivera Style Hand-Carved Pine Queen Bed – Kneeling Girl & Sunflowers
Hand-carved from solid pine, this queen-size bed frame features a powerful central tableau on its tall headboard: a kneeling girl with long braided hair, framed by large stylized sunflowers. This imagery draws directly from themes made famous by Diego Rivera, who often portrayed indigenous women in agrarian settings as symbols of strength, fertility, and Mexico’s deep connection to the land. The footboard continues the motif with scrolling foliage and floral reliefs, each detail accentuated by the warm natural finish. Support slats are included, ensuring both usability and enduring craftsmanship.
The unique Rivera-inspired carving—blending portraiture with symbolic sunflowers—elevates this piece into the realm of collectible folk art. Both functional and symbolic, it offers a rare opportunity to own furniture that resonates with cultural heritage and fine artistry.
Condition:
Good overall, with minor chips and imperfections consistent with hand carving. The frame is sturdy, and the finish retains a rich, even tone. Variations in the wood emphasize its handmade character and do not detract from presentation.
Dimensions:
Overall: 62" W x 82.5" L (Queen-size frame with support slats)
