lits à housse (beds (furniture), <sleeping and reclining furniture>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to a simpler type of bed that originated in France in the first half of the 17th century, replacing the massive carved frames of earlier beds. The frame of a lit à housse was a simple cubelike form, broken only by plumed finials at the corners of the tester, and covered entirely in fabric. This type of bed featured a deep valance and four curtains: two wide curtains went from the center of the foot of the bed round the outside of the footposts and to the center of the sides; two narrow curtains went from the bedhead to the center of the sides. Towards the end of the century the lit à housse became more elaborate and taller, although the frame continued to be entirely covered by fabric. Lits à housse are so-called because they resemble a grand state bed with its protective covers.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) .....  專指十七世紀上半葉在法國發明的簡易床,取代先前繁複雕刻的床架。罩床床架為簡易的立方型,從床柱的四角拆卸,並以織品完全蓋住。此床特色為厚重帷幔和四面床帳:兩面寬敞的床帳從床腳中央延伸至床柱外緣和床緣中間;另兩面較窄的床帳則從床頭延伸至床緣中間。直到十七世紀末期,儘管床架仍完全由織品覆蓋,但罩床變得較為精緻,高度也增加。此種床類似於用保護罩遮蓋的大型御用床,因而得此名。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een vereenvoudigd type bed dat dateert uit de eerste helft van de 17de eeuw, waarbij de zware gesneden frames van oude bedden werden vervangen. Het frame van een lit à housse had een eenvoudige kubusachtige vorm die slechts werd onderbroken door prions met veren op de hoeken van het baldakijn, en was volledig overtrokken met textiel. Dit type bed had een hoge val en vier gordijnen: twee brede gordijnen liepen vanaf het midden van het voeteneinde via de buitenkant van de stijlen aan het voeteneinde naar het midden van beide zijkanten; de smalle gordijnen liepen vanaf het hoofdeinde van het bed naar midden van de zijkanten. Rond het eind van de eeuw werden lits à housse verfijnder afgewerkt en hoger, terwijl het frame volledig met textiel overtrokken bleef. Lits à housse worden zo genoemd omdat ze op vanwege de beschermende overtrekken doen denken aan voorname staatsbedden.
