The Great Bed of Ware is an extremely large oak four poster bed, carved with marquetry, that was originally housed in the White Hart Inn in Ware, England. Built by Hertfordshire carpenter Jonas Fosbrooke about 1590, the bed measures 3.38m long and 3.26m wide (ten by eleven feet) and can 'reputedly... accommodate at least four couples'. Many of those who have used the bed have carved their names into its posts. From April 2012, the bed was exhibited for a year in Ware Museum, on loan from the Victoria and Albert Museum.

| - Das Große Bett von Ware (englisch Great Bed of Ware) ist ein über drei Meter breites Bett mit Eichenholz-Pfosten, verziert mit Einlegearbeiten, das sich ursprünglich in einer Herberge in Ware, England, befand. Es ist bemerkenswert, weil angeblich mindestens vier Paare darauf übernachten können. Es wurde unter anderem von William Shakespeare in Was ihr wollt erwähnt: „Go, write it in a martial hand; be curst and brief; it is no matter how witty, so it be eloquent and full of invention; taunt him with the licence of ink; if thou ‚thou’st‘ him some thrice, it shall not be amiss; and as many lies as will lie in thy sheet of paper, although the sheet were big enough for the bed of Ware in England, set ’em down; go about it. Let there be gall enough in thy ink; though thou write with a goose-pen, no matter. About it.“ – William Shakespeare in Was ihr wollt Weil das Bett nach dem Erscheinen dieses Werks Berühmtheit erlangte, schnitzten viele Benutzer des Bettes ihre Namen in die Pfosten. Zurzeit befindet sich das Bett, das vermutlich um 1590 erbaut wurde, im Victoria and Albert Museum in London. (de)

- The Great Bed of Ware is an extremely large oak four poster bed, carved with marquetry, that was originally housed in the White Hart Inn in Ware, England. Built by Hertfordshire carpenter Jonas Fosbrooke about 1590, the bed measures 3.38m long and 3.26m wide (ten by eleven feet) and can 'reputedly... accommodate at least four couples'. Many of those who have used the bed have carved their names into its posts. Like many objects from that time, the bed is carved with patterns from European Renaissance art. Originally it would have been brightly painted, and traces of these colours can still be seen on the figures on the bed-head. The design of the marquetry panels is derived from the work of Dutch artist Hans Vredeman de Vries (1527–1604) and the panels were probably made by English craftsmen working in London in the late Elizabethan period. The bed-hangings are modern re-creations of fabrics of the period. By the 19th century, the bed had been moved from the White Hart Inn to the Saracen's Head, another Ware inn. In 1870, William Henry Teale, the owner of the Rye House, acquired the bed and put it to use in a pleasure garden. When interest in the garden waned in the 1920s, the bed was sold. In 1931, it was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, having previously turned down an opportunity to acquire the bed in 1865, describing it as a "coarse and mutilated relic in no wise appropriate as a new acquisition". From April 2012, the bed was exhibited for a year in Ware Museum, on loan from the Victoria and Albert Museum. (en)
