Versailles Historical and Contemporary Furniture

We were fortunate enough to visit Versailles last September to see the installation " The palace of Versailles and the Mobilier National". The exhibition was split into two sections the first devoted to historic furniture from the Garde-Mueble Royale, the Royal Furniture Store, under Louis XIV to the present.




The Hall of Mirrors




The Queen's Bedroom












The Dauphin's rooms furnished with choice Louis XV and XVI pieces along with contemporary furniture designed by Mobilier National whose primary task is furnishing the Republic's official buildings.
