Support VersaillesProjects to be funded

At Versailles, the King had several apartments, depending on the degree of intimacy of his activities. This search for comfort and the art of living continued to develop throughout the 18th century.
The Cabinet d'Angle is the most sumptuous room of the King's interior apartment, in terms of its decoration, its furniture and its symbolics. Louis XV used to work there alone or with one of his ministers. The furniture that the King had installed there and that we can still admire today is the world's most beautiful rocaille suite: the "bureau du Roi" by Riesner is the first rolltop desk and probably the world's most famous piece of furniture; the commode médailler Gaudreaux, a symbol of Franco-American friendship, on which Louis XVI had wanted to install the candelabra of American independence, to commemorate the most brilliant military and diplomatic action of his reign, the Treaty signed in Versailles in 1783 asserting the independence of the United States.
