| Description |  |
Two large chandeliers emblazoned with the king's monogram complemented the decor. The utilitarian nature of the room was evidenced by the wooden benches, camp beds, and folding screens used by the guards stationed in the room. On Mondays, a table, dressed with a gold-fringed velvet rug, would be placed in this room, at which Louis XIV would personally accept petitions presented to him by his subjects (Félibien, 59; Piganiol, 118; Verlet, 209-210). |
