The dining room in the Paris home belonging to H.R.H. Edward, The Duke of Windsor, and his wife, Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor. In the Paris park Bois de Boulogne, the nineteenth-century house is located at 4 Route du Champ d'Entrainement. It is decorated in the style of eighteenth-century exoticism with blue and coral curtains, and French chinoiserie wallpaper panels from the Chateau de Chanteloup. At the left, white chrysanthemum flowers sit in a "Compagnie des Indes" porcelain jardiniere. The dining chairs were designed by the Duchess herself- of blue-green wood with white damask seats and backs. On the matching dining table, sits a portion of the couple's "Flying Tiger" Meissen porcelain.
