| Watercolor drawing of the Prince de Salm bed |

|
This 18th century image of an existing bed was used as a reference for the bed hanging design used for the Jacob bed pictured at left. The bed is shown as installed in the Lauzun Bedroom, Wrightsman Galleries for 18th century French Decorative Arts, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Every stitch of this installation was done by hand. The custom woven silk damask was produced as a side-by-side pattern, cut and seamed to accurately portray historic fabric widths. |
