Let’s talk about corona beds, no viruses allowed in them please!

The bed corona originated from the canopy bed which were used in medieval times by nobles to keep the cool drafts away from their cold castles.

A bed corona, also called Lit à Couronne, is suspended at the head of the bed (like a crown on a head) with drapery extending down to the sides of the edge of the bed.

If you want to learn about ALL the different types of canopy beds, look at this Veranda article here. I will only be showing bed coronas today!
