169 - A canopy bed known as a “pulpit bed,” made of molded, carved, and gray-lacquered wood; the canopy features a rounded step at the front, decorated with a frieze of corbel consoles and friezes of pearls and foliage. The ten-foot imperial bed features twisted fluting and an Ionic capital; the armrest consoles are shaped like baskets and adorned with scrolls of acanthus leaves. The back of the imperial chair is topped with a fire pot garlanded with roses; its upholstery is made of cream-colored silk finely embroidered with garlands of flowers. The quilted cover is made of glacier-blue silk, embroidered in the center and fringed. The canopy is adorned with a sloping panel, fringed with twisted cords and jasmine motifs, made of cream-colored 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 branch-patterned taffeta preserved at the Lyon Textile Museum (inv. 30875). The satin back panel features an embroidered canetille design of 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 with canopy: 325 cm Bed: H: 136 cm - W: 224 cm - D: 140 cm (Some damage to the silk fabric; the background is likely a reused panel)
