Tapestry lining for tester (ciel for lit à la duchesse en impériale) Tapestry made at Beauvais ca. 1780-90 As its full-size domed canopy is suspended from the ceiling rather than supported on posts, this tester bed, which bears the stamp of the menuisier Georges Jacob, is a type called lit à la duchesse en impériale. Its original but now fragile hangings, woven in 1782-83 at the Beauvais tapestry manufactory after designs by Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745-1811), have been replaced by modern silk damask, except for the lining of the interior dome. French eighteenth-century beds tended to be lofty, as it was customary to pile them with three or more mattresses filled with straw, wool, horsehair, or feathers. Tobias Smollett (1721-1771) noted in 1766, French beds are so high, that sometimes one is obliged to mount them by the help of steps.”[1The custom of receiving visitors while reposing in a large and elegantly fitted out bed was practiced in France during the eighteenth century mostly by

Piece from a Kosode with Camellias and Fence late 17th-first half of the 18th century Japan The fence with camellias must have zig-zagged its way up the body of the kosode from which this fragment came. The kanoko spots of both the camellias and fence appear to have been produced with a stencil, not by tying in the shibori technique. Although stencil-dyed kanoko has sometimes been thought to be related to sumptuary laws of the early 1680s, an earlier securely dated kanoko robe of the mid-seventeenth century shows clear evidence of having been patterned by stencil..
