CANOPY BED, wood, 1672

A magnificent bed on four low legs, with a high headboard and four turned columns supporting the canopy. The decoration of the lower front pediment and the higher headboard refers to architecture. The pediment is decorated with pilasters covered with stylized leaves, supporting the entablature. The space between the columns is filled with framed panels with a fitting ornament. The headboard presents an extensive program - the pilasters were placed on the inter-arcade pillars. There is also an ornamental composition in the arcades. The entablature was enriched with the aforementioned inscription, which creates a kind of decorative frieze. The canopy palate was not deprived of decoration - the geometric composition highlights the multi-colored wood used.
