The King’s Bedchamber, together with the Dressing Room, the Study, the Yellow and Green Rooms, formed part of the private areas of the King’s Apartments. It was the focal point of daily life at the court. It was here that the King received guests for informal audiences, gave intimate dinners and, above all, worked and rested. The King designed it himself, and Jacob Fontana and Domenico Merlini constructed the project.
