The Recamier Bed

by M. Craig & Company

Description

The classical lines of this bed originate with the ancient Greeks. In centuries since, the Grecian design ethic has been revived countless times, and the Eighteenth century was one such time. As revolutions in America and France swept away the old monarchies and the conspicuous frivolity which accompanied them, people sought the enlightened yet elegant orderliness of the classics. One such person was Madame de Recamier, for whom this piece is named. An intellectual and a woman of great power and beauty, Juliett Recamier's salon was attended by those at the pinnacle of Parisian society. A portrait of her reclining on her Grecian chase is considered a defining view of her era.
