Canopy bed made of walnut, fully rigged with curtains and falls from silk, fully rigged with curtains and falls from silk. The bed consists of a wooden box with raised headboard, resting on ball legs, where a construction is imitated with false hinges, as if the two long sides can be folded down. There is a loose bottom in the box, consisting of an oak frame with red and white checkered webbing. The square corner posts with imitation bedstead bolts continue in four double-twisted bed posts, on which the sky and the framework with the outer traps rest on four iron pins. between the posts there are four rods on which hang three curtains of red moiré, trimmed with trimmings with yellow and red tassels. The raised sky is covered on the inside with yellow-pink changeant silk, trimmed with ditto trimmings. In the sky, two yellow curtains are attached to the headboard, which were originally inclined, with a cord with tassels around the posts. The traps are fixed to the heavens, on three sides they are made of red silk, one shorter fall of yellow silk (lengthwise on the side of the alcove opening). Four blocks (so-called 'spacer') are slid above the sky on top of the pins, onto which a frame wrapped with tape, to which the unduly absorbed outer falls are fixed., anonymous, Amsterdam, c. 1690 - c. 1710, silk, wood (plant material), walnut (hardwood), linen (material), brass (alloy), iron (metal), oak (wood), h cm w cm × l cm × h cm
