Beds originating from the 19th century times are sure to be a prized find. Some are still well-kept but for artist Rebecca Belmore, adding some new thing towards this classic four-poster bed with a canopy on top is bound to bring back ancient memories which we only get to see in the movies.

The bed is a classic four-poster with a canopy, exactly the kind you might see in the bedroom of an early 19th-century colonial gentlemen.

In this case, the bed was the kind once found in The Grange, the first home of the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. In the hands of artist Rebecca Belmore, the bed was modified – aboriginized you might say. She added human hair on the bedspread and beaver pelts on the canopy.

The bed was the centrepiece for Wild in 2001. In the performance, Belmore showed up unexpectedly at the gallery on Saturday afternoons and slipped under the covers.
