Description
A four-poster bed known as a ‘pulpit bed’, made of moulded, carved and grey-lacquered wood; the canopy features a rounded step at the front, decorated with a frieze of corbelled consoles and friezes of pearls and foliage. The ten-foot imperial bed features twisted fluting and an Ionic capital, whilst the armrest corbels are in the form of a basket and coiled acanthus leaves. The backrest of the imperial chair is topped by a fire pot garlanded with roses; its upholstery is in cream silk, finely embroidered with garlands of flowers. The quilted cover is in glacier-blue silk, embroidered in the centre and fringed. The canopy is adorned with a sloping valance, fringed with twisted cords and jasmine motifs, in cream silk with an embroidered design alternating between a garland of small flowers and a knotted ribbon. Two bedside curtains in warp-printed taffeta, a replica of a mottled taffeta with a branch motif held at the Lyon Textile Museum (inv. 30875). The satin back panel features an embroidered canette design depicting a trained dog, punctuated by bouquets and garlands of flowers, surmounting a frieze of medallions painted with animals. Louis XVI style, 19th century, with 18th-century textile elements. Total height including canopy: 325 cm Bed: H: 136 cm – W: 224 cm – D: 140 cm (Damage to the silk fabric; the background is likely a reused panel)
