"Decorative Element For An Empire Bed Canopy "
Gilded swan , a decorative element in the First Empire style, formerly used to drape muslin over a boat bed. It serves as a finishing touch to the light drapery, suggesting a more basic canopy. It is made of carved and gilded wood and has some small losses to the gilding.
