The Morgan Alcove
Jean-François Roumier
ca. 1720–25, with later additions
Carved, painted and gilded oak
Part of a larger room though at one time to have come from Marley. The boiserie was sold and reconfigured several times in the 19th century and has lost some of it panels along the way. A gift from J. Pierpont Morgan in 1906.
The painting is by Hyacinthe Rigaud of Louis XV at the age of five when he accented the throne.
