The Queen's State Bedchamber, Hampton Court Palace
The crimson damask state bed was made for the Prince and Princess of Wales (the future King George II and Queen Caroline) in 1715 and is still on display in the room today. The ceiling was painted by Sir James Thornhill and depicts Leucothoe restraining Apollo from entering his chariot (daybreak restrained). This illustration was published in W H Pyne's The History of the Royal Residences, which appeared in three volumes in 1819, depicting the royal palaces as they appeared in the reign of King George III (1760-1820)
