At the center of this room, with its distinctly Rococo style, stands a magnificent freestanding cabinet in the Flemish style. Its dark colors contrast perfectly with the flamboyant decor and blend beautifully with the two gilded wooden columns, one in the Louis XIV and the other in the Regency style . The room is further decorated with imposing baluster candelabra and a pair of gilded bronze andirons placed atop the cabinet.
