NOTES:
Polychrome Room (FRANCE 1745 Carnavalet Museum)
These panels of unknown origin have been painted in the manner of Martin varnish, a technique perfected by the Martin brothers in the 1740s, which made colours more vivid, like porcelain.
In the corner of the room, there is a very beautiful corner cupboard, one of a pair, bearing the identification mark of the cabinet-maker Latz, and in the foreground a writing table by Delorme, accompanied by a pair of Queen armchairs, superb examples of Louis XV chairs.
Paintings, sculptures and objects decorating the room are devoted to philosophers of the Age of Enlightenment.
