Description The king's chamber is where legend has it that the Duke of Guise was killed, throwing himself at the foot of the king's bed after being struck by eight bodyguards.
To evoke the king, Duban deliberately enriched with gold decor of the room and the bedroom set with royal lilies. It's furnished with a XVIth century monumental Italian bed , rebuilt in the XIXth century, from carved wood, painted and gilded, and a walnut cupboard with two French bodies from the late XVIth century.

There's a better photo on wiki , it would seem that the cupboard has changed since 2007, but it still looks walnut, french and XVIth century!

Great shot, Bianca - you caught the majestic atmosphere very well! I must admit I like this 'humble bed' and the furniture as well. Only the wallpaper isn't my cup of tea.

Well if I had the bed, I doubt I'd ever leave it again...so I might not even notice the wallpaper Thanks, Kevin!

I like your shot far more than the wiki-shot. Wiki-shot is just dull.
Great perspective and angle
You keep the bed, I'll take the cupboard

I think mine is too...glowy? But anyway, I'm glad that I managed to get one without tourists

You got yourself a deal! But they'd better deliver them at the door or else I'm buying from another castle!
Thank you!

I would settle for the bed alone Thanks, Violet!
