Château, Fontainebleau (Seine-et-Marne)

In 1787 a games-room and a boudoir with a 'cabinet turc' at Fontainebleau for Marie-Antoinette. These rooms represent the apogée of the French 'style grotesque', and some of the motifs employed in them formed a transition to Pompeian decoration.

The photo shows the games room in the Queen's Appartements at Fontainebleau.
