Beddenkoord van tsaar Peter de Grote 1697

This is a bed cord, or a rope used to secure a bed's canopy, that was created by Peter I de Grote (also known as Peter the Great) himself. This historical artifact, crafted in 1697, showcases the Tsar's own handiwork and offers a glimpse into his personal life. The rope is woven with intricate knots and a tassel, demonstrating the Tsar's skill and attention to detail. Currently on display at the Rijksmuseum, this piece is a fascinating reminder of the diverse talents of one of Russia's most influential figures.
