Study chandelier

The study is a comfortable, boudoir-like room dedicated to the taste in the period of Queen Marie-Antoinette of France. An exceptional group of furniture owned by the Queen is surrounded by Sèvres porcelain and other French decorative arts from the second half of the eighteenth century, when the new, more austere and linear Neo-classical style supplanted the light airiness of the Rococo.

 

The study was Sir Richard Wallace's private room for writing letters and reading.
