Exquisitely decorated in the Parisian style and representing the most sophisticated tastes of the 1780's, this remarkable room still retains the original set of Beauvais tapestries in the setting specifically designed for it.

As well as these magnificent tapestries, restored at Hampton Court Palace in 1976 after the huge fire, the room boasts architectural decoration by Girard. A highlight are his painted shutters with its delicate and fine brushwork.

The original ceiling was designed by Robert Adam and was gilded by Dupasquier.  Other features of the room include a painting of Lady Charlotte Campbell (daughter of the 5th Duke) as 'Aurora' by John Hoppner, a pair of confidantes with matching armchairs and a circular giltwood palm tree table with a specimen marble top inlaid with the 7th Duke of Argyll's coat of arms.
