The "Campaign bed of Prince William of Orange" is a folding bed from around 1810, made by an anonymous artist, and currently in the Rijksmuseum. The bed is made of iron, with a simple, yet elegant design. It is a good example of practical and portable furniture that was popular among military leaders during campaigns, hence the name "campaign bed". The bed is on wheels, making it easy to move around. The bed would be upholstered with fabric or leather for comfort. This folding bed demonstrates a style of furniture that was fashionable and functional in the early 19th century.
Comments
This campaign bed is thought to have belonged to Prince William of Orange, the future King William II. In the early 19th century many high-ranking officers had similar campaign beds, which also served as chairs and recliners. Prince William fought as a general at the Battle of Waterloo (1815), where he was wounded. This made him a hero in the eyes of many.
