Descriptive Note
|
Text: The paneling for this room was
made around 1755 for an as-yet-unidentified Parisian
hôtel (mansion). The reconstructed room comprises
paneling, a mantelpiece, and inset paintings. The paneling
in this room is a good example of the decoration of
grand salons in the fashionable French private houses
of the mid?eighteenth century. This would have been
one in a series of rooms in an enfilade, which is a
string of rooms linked by doors that are located on
a straight line. These rooms were designed so a visitor
would travel from one room to the next in succession.
