The Gorgeous Bedetead Of an
East Indian Ruler,

! There is on view in Paris at tn,
present a bed OF rare and singular
construction, which has been mad.
to the order of an Indian prince, anG
is about to be sent out to him. TIN
bedstead, which il of satin wood
with large plates Of retrousse work,
is very beautifully carved, and has
cost upwards of 60. 400. The most
original part of this led is the mat
tress, which has been fitted up as q
musical box, SO that directly anyone
lies down it plays tunes selected from
G0unod's opera.
AT the four corners of the bed are
four statues, representing young girls
of Greek Spanish, Italian and French
nationality, their only ornament
being a gold snake bracelet twisted
around the wrist, which holds the
fan they are waving over the sleeper.
By an ingenious contrivance of the
artist employed to cast these statues
the eyes have been made to move
and the realistic appearance of these
young ladies is heightened by the
addition of four wigs in four shades |
If color, supposed to be typical OF
'ach nation. The arms Of the Rajah |
re carved at the head Of the bed

'ad taste, is q marvel of workman
