The Golden Bed is a bed designed by the English architect and designer William Burges in 1879 for the guest bedroom of the home that he designed for himself in Holland Park, The Tower House. It is now in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) in South Kensington.[1] The bed was made by John Walden and carved by Thomas Nicholls. The painting in the central panel of the headboard was executed by Henry Holiday, and the motifs and figures on the bed painted by Fred Weekes.[1] The bed is made from polished hardwood, mahogany and pine.[1]
The theme for the guest room has been variously described as 'The Earth and Her Productions'[2] and 'Vita Nova' ('New Life').[1] The Golden Bed matched the rest of the furniture designed for the guest bedroom, in keeping with the room's decorative scheme.[1]
