Dining room


I thought I'd let you have a look at my newly restored dining room, the one set in my semi-private apartments of the South East Pavilion of the Secretaries of States of the Palace of Versailles. Those among you who visited the previous version of this room will be quite shocked I guess! Before the complete reconstruction of my apartments and the renovation work this part of the palace undergone recently, no solid walls or partitions there, no panelled walls, no tomettes floor, no Louis XV fireplace and its matching mirror! I found the engravings and the screens in the attic (which explains why you might already have seen them on this blog), in an apartments which is awaiting some important construction work too. (Arr! So much to do, so little time!) The two landscapes (contradictorily in "portrait" format) have been ordered two years ago to ornate another room of the Palace. They find here a perfect place!
