The Private Dining Rooms
"On the ballroom floor is a series of private
dining rooms of small size. Three of these are of
Louis XV design, the walls being paneled and painted,
the floor covered with amethyst Louis XV carpet, and
the windows hung with glass curtains with amethyst
and gold over drapes hung from gold cornices. The
chairs are Louis XV in gold upholstered with amethyst
brocade."
"Two other dining rooms are of the Louis XVI
period with plain blue carpet on the floor, the walls
painted and paneled, the windows treated with blue
damask overdrapes hung from gold cornices. In these
rooms the furniture is gold upholsterd in blue fabric
of Louis XVI design."
"There is also one more private dining room
of the same Louis XVI design, except that the carpeting,
draperies, and upholstering are in rose instead of
blue."
