Dreamscape Hoop Canopy Mulitfunctional Net Hoop Bed Canopy This bed canopy adds a hint of luxury to a bedroom done in traditional decor or can add an elegant (and mosquito-free) touch when hung over a table at an outdoor garden party. The long, column-shaped expanse of 100-percent polyester mesh ties around the included wooden hoop. The hoop then mounts onto and suspends from the ceiling over the center of the bed, cascading a filmy sheath of fabric around the bed's four corners. The canopy fits over beds of any size, from twin to king, and drapes elegantly over a four-poster frame or simply over a bed without head- or footboards. In addition to its decorative appeal, this canopy also serves as a functional mosquito net, providing a peaceful night's sleep in hot and humid climates. Dry cleaning is recommended as the most thorough and easy cleaning method for the canopy; however, it is possible to hand wash the canopy in cold water and dry it flat. --Cristina Vaamonde (7) Great Bed of Ware English, 16th century. I read an article a while ago (in Medieval Clothing and Textiles, I think) about how lavish beds and bed coverings were used as showpieces in Italian homes, and were often larger than necessary and never slept in. Apparently this one though was made as a sort of publicity stunt, which worked, because Shakespeare had heard of it and made a "pop culture reference" to it in Twelfth Night. The display for the bed was actually very good with info on and samples of the various layers of bedding. It is a rope bed with several layers of thin mattresses stuffed variously with unspun wool and down; there are linen sheets, wool blankets, a silk quilt stuffed with yet more unspun wool, and a coverlet with gold threads woven in. There are also canopies made of a wool textile called "say". Since no records exist of the bedding for this bed, they used records of other bedding from the same vintage to recreate all of this, right down to colours that were preferred for bedding in that particular part of the country. A research inspiration to us all. Back to Sonnenberg - Mary Thompson's Bedroom Here you see the canopy bed that was in Mary Thompson's bedroom. Following her husband Frederick's death in 1899, Mary Thompson moved to this bedroom, which originally overlooked the Old-Fashioned Garden. This room had its own bath, fireplace and balcony. There was also a large walk-in closet with built-in shelves and drawers. Located in the mansion, on the second floor, at the Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park at 151 Charlotte Street in Canandaigua, NY.
