Château de Chantilly, Hauts-de-France, France

This room served as the office of the Duke of Bourbon during the 18th century. It was decorated between 1718 and 1720.

 

On the fireplace is a pendulum clock from around 1715, and in front is a firescreen from 1788 commissioned from Jean-Baptiste Boulard for the bedchamber of the Count of Provence (future Louis XVIII) at Versailles. The large bronze vase was created in 1847 by Benoît Marrel for the Duke of Aumale. It sits on an ebony pedestal by Grohé in the centre of a 19th century upholstered seat . The chairs by Jean-Baptiste Sené date from around 1785, and the gold and carved wood console table by Lemaire is from 1878.
