This extraordinary bed, accompanied by a bench and a pair of
chairs, is part of the Egyptomania that culminated in the 19th
century. This is evidenced by the canopy, decorated with an
Egyptian temple door, the headboard, with the scene of Ramses
II on his chariot at the battle of Qadesh reproducing a bas-relief
from the great temple of Abu Simbel, the lion-sphinxes adorning
the bed frame and the multiple hieroglyphs inspired by ancient
sources.
PROVENANCE :
Cabinetmaker Louis Malard presented it at the 1889
World Exhibition, where it won a silver medal and critical acclaim.
The bed then belonged to Countess Bathilde Ducos (1851-1927)
until its sale, on June 1-2, 1896, to Charles Henri Duquesne, in
whose family it remained until its acquisition by Galerie Marc
