    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hangings, woven in 1782-83 at the Beauvais tapestry manufactory after designs by Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745-1811), have been replaced by modern silk damask, except for the lining of the interior dome.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.”[1]

    The custom of receiving visitors while reposing in a large and elegantly fitted out bed was practiced in France during the eighteenth century mostly by aristocratic women. The Museum’s imposing piece of furniture with its exquisitely carved floral decoration, the work of an unknown carver, must have formed a splendid backdrop for such official calls or congratulatory visits. In 1791 the bed is documented as standing in the large bedchamber of Guyonne-Marguerite de Durfort de Lorge, duchesse de Choiseul-Praslin (1737-1806), at her Parisian home, the Hôtel de Belle Isle. Following the turmoil of the Revolution and the political changes of the early nineteenth century, the bed was sold in Paris in 1830. It became part of the famous collections at Hamilton Palace, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, the residence of Alexander Hamilton Douglas, tenth Duke of Hamilton (1767-1852), where it was placed in one of the state rooms. The duke’s grandson sold the contents of the palace, including the bed, at a highly anticipated auction that took place in 1882. Through the intermediation of several dealers, the bed was acquired in 1897 by the financier and railroad executive George J. Gould (1864-1923). His wife, the former actress Edith M. Kingdon (1864-1921), used it in her bedroom of their New York town house.

    Boiserie from the Hôtel Lauzun

    •Date: ca. 1770, with one modern panel
    •Culture: French, Paris
    •Medium: Carved and painted oak
    •Dimensions:
    oHeight: 323½ (821.7)
    oWidth: 323½ (821.7)
    oDepth: 195¾ in. (497.2 cm)
    •Classification: Woodwork
    •Credit Line: Purchase, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wrightsman Gift, 1976
    •Accession Number: 1976.91.1

    On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 523.

    The design of this Neoclassical paneling incorporates fluted pilasters crowned with Corinthian capitals and three sets of double doors that alternate with carved panels. The latter are embellished below with symmetrical arabesques and vases in low relief and with graceful swags at the top, but they all differ slightly from each other. No eighteenth-century provenance has been discovered for this woodwork, but by 1874 it had been installed in the first-floor (American second floor) gallery of the Hôtel de Lauzun, a seventeenth-century residence on the Île Saint-Louis in Paris. The house was then occupied by the baron Jérôme-Frédéric Pichon (1812-1896), a well-known collector and bibliophile. Stripped to its bare oak and stained a dark shade of brown, the paneling lined the walls of his library. With its four large windows overlooking the quay and the river Seine, this room was the setting for eccentric parties at which Pichon entertained literary contemporaries such as Charles Baudelaire and Théophile Gautier. The paneling remained in place until the baron’s grandson, Louis Pichon, acquired the hôtel in 1905. Having a stricter aesthetic sense and a desire to restore the seventeenth-century appearance of the gallery, he dismantled and sold the boiserie. It arrived at the Museum in 1976. When microscopic analysis revealed little about the original paint below the stain, the woodwork was repainted in a monochrome gray-green distemper to harmonize with the three grisaille overdoors, which have been associated with the paneling but did not originally belong to it. Showing children representing spring, summer, and winter, they are duplicates of the overdoors representing the four seasons painted about 1787 by Piat Joseph Sauvage (1744-1818) for Queen Marie-Antoinette’s dairy at Rambouillet.

    In the 1760s and 1770s in unique, the Sèvres manufacturing unit regularly launched merchandise with new sorts, new types of decoration, and even new features. Until eventually that time, sconces of large high-quality were made both of gilt bronze or gilt wood. It was a substantial complex achievement to develop them in porcelain, and small firing cracks on these objects in spots where the porcelain curves testify to the troubles concerned.

    Perhaps the challenges in molding and firing porcelain sconces describe why so few of them have been made. About twenty pairs were produced at Sèvres in between 1761 and 1768, the interval all through which these extraordinary objects would have been in manner. Their pronounced scrolling kinds incorporating leaves and berries and their sinuous profile epitomize large Rococo design in the decorative arts. They were clearly held in superior esteem Madame de Pompadour owned two pairs, and Louis XV obtained at the very least 10 with a environmentally friendly floor in 1762.
