Refurnishing the royal appartments

rEDISCOVER VERSAILLES

In 1793, the Palace of Versailles was completely emptied: 17,000 lots of furniture and objects in the royal collections were dispersed at revolutionary sales. Since the beginning of the 20^th century, generations of curators have passionately and untiringly hunted and identified furniture and objects that came from Versailles or were ordered for other royal or princely palaces in order to acquire them, if possible.

Thus, little by little, Versailles has once again become the home of some of the finest creations of the “Grand Siècle”, a moment of perfection in French art.
