Photograph of the Queen's Dining and Lunch Room, now known as the Chinese Dining Room. The walls are hung with two Chinoiserie panels by Robert Jones, from a set of four originally commissioned by George IV for the Brighton Pavilion (RCIN 755); there is a large flower-shaped chandelier, one of a pair (RCIN 2338); various over-sized East Asian vases and jars around the room, including a pair of candelabras (RCIN 203) on the fireplace. Also on the massive fireplace is the 'Kylin clock' under a glass case (RCIN 2867). On the left wall is a pair of tall porcelain vases on stands, converted into oil lamps for Brighton Pavilion (RCIN 204). Over the three doors are shaped gilt overdoors, with decorations of winged serpents (RCIN 756).

The Chinese Dining Room is one of a number of early Victorian Chinese room in the east wing of Buckingham Palace, re-using some of the salvaged fittings and furnishings from George IV's Brighton Pavilion (which was sold to Brighton town council for £99,500 in 1846). Queen Mary further enhanced the chinoiserie with the help of fashionable decorators White Allom, in the 1920s.
