PhotoHunt: tied

All these beds, two from Fontainebleau and two from Valençay, have hangings which are tied in place.

A bedchamber at Fontainebleau.

This is Napoleon's bed, also at Fontainebleau, my favourite I think.

Another with green hangings, but this time in the less elaborate surroundings of the Château at Valençay.

King Ferdinand's bedroom at Valençay.

While I was preparing this post, I found myself wanting to know more about the history of beds.  I had no idea that there were quite so many differences, how they evolved over time, and why.
