A Closer Look: Inside The Queen’s Quarters at the Palace of Versailles | Cultured Elegance
The queen's apartments at Versailles comprised several rooms, including a bedchamber, nobles' room, Royal table antechamber, guard room, gilded room, méridienne room, library, billiard room, water closet, and toilette room. Over time, each queen who inhabited these spaces personalized them to suit their preferences. The present look of these rooms predominantly mirrors the modifications carried out by the final occupant, Marie Antoinette.

This video is absolutely and profoundly timely for me. I recognize this may sound quite pretentious; but, I am currently throwing myself into cultivating the interior decor of my recently purchased Home and I consider the private quarters of Marie Antoinette to be my PRIMARY decor inspiration. I am a young woman and Live alone. I do not have anyone else's decor preferences to consider or assimilate into my space. My Home can be as hyper-feminine and pretty as I can potentially render it. Ever since I studied abroad in Paris whilst in college years ago and made the trip out to the Palais Versailles, I felt inwardly determined to someday have my own Home featuring elements such as French Provincial furniture, gold mirrors, elegant fabrics and prints, and an adherence to the classic and unabashedly ornate. Thank you for making this video. It is detailed and thoroughly informative. 🖤

I was a student in the early 70’s and was so disappointed when we visited the palace to find that they were empty rooms. It was still beautiful but they have since reproduced the furniture and I have been told that it now superb.

@linpollitt8950 Месяц назад

I visited Versailles in 2015 and it was breathtaking. My only disappointment was not being able to explore the gardens because it was raining heavily.

For the furniture it is not reproduction 😂😂 they buy when they have the opportunity the originals in auctions

@SuperMarkizas Месяц назад

I was there a few years back, and I was overwhelmed by the amount of people everywhere, by the end I was trying to escape it, did not enjoy it. However, renting a golf cart and driving around the gardens proved to be the absolute highlight, would love to repeat the weirdness and pleasure of it.

This video couldn’t drop at a more perfect time. Just as my obsession with Marie Antoinette has reignited. I watched Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette a few days ago for the millionth time. So excited to watch this video tonight!

I love 18th century france; the source of the highest form of taste and exquisite furnishings- which most european monarchs emulated such style.

@verenamaharajah6082 Месяц назад

Now I understand why Marie~Antoinette craved a simple country life and had the Petit Trianon built, probably to save her sanity from having to live under all that completely over the top opulence.

@olavwilhelm6843 18 часов назад

The petit Trianon was build for Madame dePompadour 1762 and not for Marie Antoinette

@verenamaharajah6082 17 часов назад

@@olavwilhelm6843 I have not been able to find any information supporting your statement. However, I was referring to the Queens Hamlet that she had built on the Petit Trianon estate which was given to her by her husband the King. As the Hamlet is under the umbrella of the title Petition Trianon, I’ve found that’s what most people call it.

I’ve heard it was originally built to keep all the quarrelling nobility confined at the reach of the king, but it became a truly golden cage where the royal family was at the mercy of the monster they created.

Absolutely beautiful, it's almost too beautiful, how could you not become bewitched living there to the point where your dreams trun into a delusional reality, which in the end leads to your death. I wonder if that memory of beauty followed them to jail, did the memory of those beautiful rooms and gardens give them some kind of escape or was it torturous to have those memories. I love the fall of empires and how they are usually the fault of their own demise.

What did they do when rulers could no longer walk all those stairs or when they were ill; or when the Queen was in a family way and in her "confinement?"

@triciamills309 3 часа назад

In England, when King Henry VIII could no longer walk due to his obesity and infected leg, he was either carried everywhere by servants in a litter or by Katherine Parr's marriage to him he had an early version of a wheelchair he was pushed around the palace in.

@phoenixswanson1561 Месяц назад

What England did differently was work with the environment. The way the interior of a palace was designed had more to do with what was outside than what was in.

@aliceputt3133 2 месяца назад

They had just discovered Pompey and were recovering Roman Statues which were inspiring them.

This was the Neo-classical time period, so everything Roman and Greek was their inspiration.

Rome and Egypt were some of the greatest empires in history. And many rulers copied their Practices .Art and Architecture. Even here in the US we have an obelisk which is clearly Egyptian in our nation’s capital.

I really would like to go back to Paris. I had a lot of fun there when I went with the right person . I remember some things. I did not like when the fake ysa ward and married went and all their relatives at all those different people went. They seriously have a problem and followed me to everywhere formerly I went and wanted to go naturally . They are really nasty. I hope to have some good experiences with the right people from them which are really the older Mormon bishops and presidents that are white and other general authorities.

It makes me uncomfortable. There are too many vertical lines--the pattern on the wallpaper, the moldings beside the fireplace, etc. A bedroom is supposed to be restful but this one makes you feel like you must stand at attention. Maybe it was supposed to. I don't know.

No comparison with England's any palace. Mankind cannot invent any greater architectures than those used in England. It's the last of modernity in architecture. Just like nobody can be Shakespeare, Aristotle, Plato anymore. They are the ends. In Versailles, walls have no place left without art. How can you live in a room inside which the four walls full of art and countless of colours gaze at you. See the St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Blenheim Palace, Windsor Castle, The great Westminster, British Museum, Oxford, Cambridge, Westminster Abbey and several more...
