The Yellow Room

The Yellow Room was used as a small dining room. In 1771-1782 this was where the famous Thursday Dinners were held to which the King invited poets, writers and scholars. This is why the table in the middle of the room is laid, as if awaiting the King's guests. Portrait of some of the people who participated in these dinners are hung on the walls. The name of the room comes from the colour of the walls, the great majority of which are covered with damask fabric with gold and white stripes.
