France
Rare Rustic bed set in tricolor Siamese composed of a bed base, two slopes and a crenellated canopy surround and dating from the period of the French Revolution. Very fine, tight and skillful weave in linen and cotton with fine stripes of indigo, madder and white threads commonly called Rouennerie. Original braid on the edges in brick-colored bourette silk. Hemp ties with brass rings. Hand-sewn set entirely original 18th century and not subsequently modified. The red of the wall background panel tends towards brick, due to the use of a different color in the weaving (this is not a discoloration!). Clean set, no holes or tears. Exceptional condition of color and preservation considering its age.
Dimensions: 2 curtain slopes of 101 cm x 208 cm, 1 wall slope of 138 cm x 145 cm and a bed valance of 29 cm x 600 cm
