Literature
Florence Camard, Ruhlmann, éd. du Regard, Paris, 1983, p. 177, pour un dessin illustrant la chambre à coucher de la Baronne Rotschild au Chateau de la Muette en 1924, où le modèle de lit est présent.
Le modèle est repris par Alfred Porteneuve avec des pieds en bois doré remplaçant ceux du modèle de Ruhlmann en bronze doré.
Condition
Bon état général.
Un manque à l'angle supérieur gauche du dossier sur environ 4 cm et un saut de placage sur environ 2cm de long sur l'angle opposé. Deux sauts de placage sur le bord supérieur de la structure et léger desséchement du bois. Légère décoloration du vernis au pieds du lits et quelques sauts également sur la tranche. Les quatre pieds vraisemblablement redorés à une époque ultérieure. Le tissus du dossier présente quelques tâches éparses dont une plus importnate en bas à droite d'environ 9 x 3 cm. (Deux sommiers)
Les chevets à restaurer
Good overall condition.
A lack of wood to the upper left hand corner of the bed head on approximatively 4 cm, and a lack of veneer of approximatively 2 cm along the opposite corner. Two lacks of veneer on the upper of the structure and slight disoloration of the veneer to the foot part of the structure witha a few lacks as well. The four feet have probably been regilded later. The upholstery of the bed head presents some spreaded traces of dirt, one larger at the bottom right-hand corner on approximatively 9 x 3 cm
The side tables need to be restored
