| Summary: | Made in 1515 for the marriage of Duke Antoine de Lorraine and Renée de Bourbon-Montpensier, the bed of this married couple, although modified during the nineteenth century, is one of the oldest beds preserved in France today. It has a rich symbolic decoration associating the emblems and mottos of the House of Lorraine with the intertwined monograms of the two spouses. On the occasion of its presentation at the exhibition Un Monde nouveau (Musée Lorrain, Nancy, in 2013), this bed was given a new textile upholstery. This presented an opportunity to study anew the three inventories of the Dukes of Lorraine, preserved for this period and the years1532, 1543 and 1606. The study resulted in a better understanding of the textiles present and the creation of an educational multimedia tool, developed in consultation with the Bed Committee. It is a virtual restitution which makes it possible to understand the evolution of the textile elements of the bed and to show the bed’s three known states. The results of this research are presented in this present article. |
