Baldaquín is a canopy or ornamental covering often placed over altars, thrones, or beds, typically supported by columns or suspended from above. Originating in religious and royal settings, a baldaquín can be a richly decorated structure, using materials like wood, metal, or fabric, often adorned with intricate designs, carvings, or fabrics to signify importance, honor, or protection. In a domestic setting, a baldaquín over a bed provides a luxurious or romantic aesthetic, adding privacy and elegance. Historically, baldaquines have symbolized prestige and authority, especially in religious or ceremonial spaces.
