Bed valance, showing idealised scenes of hunting and country life, Warwickshire, England, c.1600-1610. Victoria and Albert Museum. The vibrant colours suggest that the valance was hardly used (it would have been hung around the top of a bed, along with curtains and other bed furnishings, providing warmth and decoration).
