A bed fit for a king at the Chateau of Versailles. Indeed, it's an entire bedroom fit for a king. The entire room is gilded and gold thread is woven into all the fabric. You'll note the barricade in the middle of the room. That's to separate the king's private space from his public space. He would often conduct public business in the bedroom, and his officials, ministers, and guests would stay on the outside of the barrier.
