Overview
This article focuses on furniture, and more specifically beds and bed pavilions in pre-Islamic Java, hence before 1500 ce. In this way, it intends to contribute to the knowledge of an aspect of Javanese material culture that is still in need of comprehensive studies. Old Javanese and Malay texts read against the iconographic evidence on temple stone reliefs and metalware identify four types of \"sleeping apparatus\" in pre-Islamic Java: a mat unrolled on the floor; a wooden or bamboo bed-platform, standing on four or more legs, which were supported on stone or terracotta bases (umpaks); a movable bed consisting of a bedstead standing on wooden legs (what one might be tempted to call a \"true\" bed); and a canopy bed, which probably developed from the curtained bedchamber. The article also considers the elements that complete the beds' functional equipment, such as mattress padding and curtains that ensure privacy for their users. Even in their terse form, the different sources can be used to develop hypotheses on the association of some of these beds with groups of people identified by social rank or gender, and on the influence of foreign furniture on the design of beds in Java. Finally, this study also seeks to determine the precise meaning of various Javanese terms used to designate items of furniture intended for rest or pleasure, as tilām/tilam, palaṅka, and jinǝm. Cet article porte sur le mobilier, et plus particulièrement les lits et les litspavillons, dans la Java pré-islamique, soit avant 1500 de notre ère. Il entend ainsi contribuer à la connaissance d'un aspect de la culture matérielle javanaise qui nécessite encore des études approfondies. Les textes javanais et malais anciens, interrogés à la lumière des iconographies représentées sur les reliefs en pierre des temples et sur des objets en métal, permettent d'identifier quatre types de « mobilier de sommeil » dans la Java pré-islamique : une natte déroulée sur le sol ; une plate-forme de lit en bois ou en bambou, reposant sur quatre pieds ou plus qui étaient soutenus par des bases en pierre ou en terre cuite (umpak) ; un lit mobile composé d'un sommier reposant sur des pieds en bois (ce que l'on pourrait être tenté d'appeler un lit « véritable ») ; et un lit à baldaquin, qui s'est probablement développé à partir du type de la chambre à coucher à rideaux. L'article prend également en considération les éléments venant compléter le dispositif de couchage, tels que le matériau servant au rembourrage des matelas et les rideaux qui assurent l'intimité des utilisateurs des lits. Même sous leur forme lapidaire, les différentes sources permettent d'élaborer des hypothèses quant à l'association de certains de ces lits à des groupes de personnes identifiés par le rang social ou le genre, et quant à l'influence du mobilier étranger sur la conception des lits à Java. Enfin, cette étude cherche également à déterminer la signification précise de divers termes javanais désignant ces éléments de mobilier destinés au repos et au plaisir, comme tilām/tilam, palaṅka et jinǝm.
