A richly carved and lacquered wooden daybed resting on four tapered, fluted and filleted legs. The uprights of the side backrests feature spiral flutes surmounted by a Doric capital topped with a pomegranate. Friezes of pearls, water leaves and laurel tori embellished with knots enliven the decor. Acanthus leaves at the bottom of the jambs and florets on the connecting dice accentuate the furniture's plant ornamentation.
The "lit de repos" (daybed) was very popular in the second half of the 18th century, at a time when comfort was becoming an increasingly important part of daily life. As its name suggests, it was used to rest during the day, allowing ladies to receive their guests lying down.
Our bed is carved on all sides.
