Queen's Drawing Room

Queen's Drawing Room

The Queen’s Drawing Room was where the queen met with courtiers and different ministers in a more private setting. The striking burgundy and nutmeg colourscheme and the heavy draping curtains served to further underline the stately importance of the room.

The central focus of the room was an elegant walnut writing bureau, topped by a masterful copper-worked musical clockwork portraying a carousel featuring two copper and elobarately enamel worked armoured knights bearing small cloth banners of England and Pfalz as they follow each other round the carousel to the melody of a Germanic lullaby.

Behind the desk was a chair, the back of it topped by a golden crown, for the queen to sit on.
