Abstract
During the 19th century, European bourgeois etiquette guided the means of social interaction, entering the domestic universe and prescribing personal behaviour, especially for women. Resting furniture reflected the female body in particular and projected their bodies in these environments: beautiful, objectified and inert, like a sleeping beauty. What were these items of furniture like, which styles were privileged, what bodily positions did they determine and what images of women did they project?
Through analysing 19th century resting furniture in brazilian museum collections and in images from the period produced by artists in Brazil, as well as in literary studies, the intention is to develop a study which perceives the connection between furniture and gender, allowing a greater understanding of how bourgeois women's places were constructed in Brazil – a type of beauty which remains radiant due to its long latent period.
