The Empress's Bedroom in the Grand Trianon of the Château de Versailles, France
The Empress's Bedroom in the Grand Trianon of the Château de Versailles, France - Originally Louis XIV’s bedchamber, this room still features the original décor of Corinthian columns and admirably sculpted mosaic paneling. Under the Empire it was divided into a smaller bedchamber and a sitting room (or antechamber) used by Empress Marie-Louise, who furnished the spaces as they appear today. The only exception is the bed, which comes from the Tuileries Palace: it belonged to Napoleon and his successor, Louis XVIII, Louis XVI’s brother, who died in it in 1824. The Trianon’s original furniture was scattered during the French Revolution; most of the present pieces date from the First Empire. Napoleon had the palace entirely refurnished and sometimes came here with Marie-Louise.
