Photograph of the Picture Gallery, now known as the Queen's Drawing Room, Windsor Castle. There is a mixture of furniture in different styles and periods, and many paintings on the wall. For example on the right there is an oak, marquetry and giltwood centre table by Morel and Sedden in the Gothic style, which is no longer in the Royal Collection. There is a Boulle writing table next to a Morel and Seddon 'Klismos' style sofa (RCIN 31373). Against the long wall are: a lacquer and gilt metal chest of drawers (RCIN 39208), a pair of Chinese vases, a pair of Fluorspar and gilt bronze vases by Boulton (RCIN 21669), a pair of giltwood pedestals (RCIN 35475) with a pair of incense burners on top (RCIN 35441), a Boulle secretaire by Levasseur (RCIN 29945), and a lacquer and gilt metal chest of drawers (RCIN 39206), etc. The wallpaper is a repeating pattern of Edward VII's monogram surrounded by a wreath and surmounted by a crown. The carpet is patterned with Tudor roses intersected by oak leaves.
