Le boudoir Turc de Marie-Antoinette et Joséphine VF 

Heavenly? For her and the other Royals, maybe. And all the while, her lower class subjects were starving and suffering, while she enjoyed luxury. Yeah. Heavenly. Too bad it wasn't that way for THEM, UNTIL they got rid of the monarchy. 🙄 I bet at the end, she wished she hadn't been so extravagant, and had helped her subjects, instead of causing them to become so desperate. Her hatred of her own subjects, bred hatred in them, for her and all others in the ruling class, sealing their downfall and destruction.

@@janicem9225 hey there, thanks for your lengthy reply. Although court life was extravagant you have to remember that such extravagance kept many ppl employed, housed & fed. Take this boudoir for example: it employed the ppl who designed it, the men who imported the materials, the craftsman who built it, the furniture makers and fabric sewers etc. These luxuries didn't fall from the sky; people were paid to create and maintain them. In an era before the industrial revolution the Monarchy was the main source or employment in urban areas. Als, Marie Antoinette actually preferred the simple life; choosing the Trianon as her favourite dwelling (not sure if you have been but; it is just a small residence.) Also; when The Queen decided to wear less formal clothing it caused an outrage among the silk manufactures inside France. She was damned if she did live in extravagance & damned if she didn't. Also, the real suffering and bloodshed of the people of France occurred after the revolution was underway when the King was dead and Maximilian Robespierre was executing ppl by the THOUSANDS.

@@janicem9225 how does it feel like, to know that you actually know nothing and only ramble according to cliches? after getting the respond you deserve?

Bah oui ça en valait la peine justement

Oui, c'est trop de vrai!!✝️⚜️

would you people please stop loving French and France, for a bunch of pretty buildings and arts? if it were up to them, they would destroy all of these masterpieces for pathetic political reasons, a long time ago (same thing they did to many other things which you can see their photo in books and no longer in real life) love those pieces and artists who made them

"Substandard," according to what standard? Europe at that time? During the 18th century, the standard of living in France was actually higher then in most of Europe. France was considered the most sophisticated country in Europe, and led the continent, not only in the arts, but the sciences as well. There were multi factors which led to the French Revolution, and not the preposterously simple narratives espoused in many history books.

@Fitzroi All that's missing is a brain...✝️⚜️

@Fitzroi No, dear, I was referring to you, and I am sure you knew it!! By the bye, since you hate those of us who are French so much, why stay around and stir up trouble?? Or is that the only way you can occupy yourself?!?😒😒✝️⚜️

@Fitzroi First of all, I knew that Marie Antoinette was Austrian!! However, I thought your disdain for the French was quite obvious from your other snide remarks!!!!🙄🙄✝️⚜️

@Fitzroi Well, for one thing, the remark about the "kitschy whorehouse" was a rather good indication, the next remark about the French lack of intelligence, etc.! What country are you from, or are you, yourself, French? Pardon me, I'm just trying to figure out your motivation!! Forgive me for sounding dumb, I am French, you see....✝️⚜️

@Fitzroi Aaaah, now I see!! I got the irony, just didn't quite know how to apply it, je suppose... As some people here in the States would say, "My bad..." Uggh!! Thanks for putting up with my hypersensitivity!!😉😉🇺🇸✝️⚜️

Grace Serena Christie try using fabric wallpaper.

You should make a video of your room , and share it with us !

A chandelier over the bed? I would not have anything hanging over a bed. The proper place for a chandelier is centrally located on the ceiling. Room all white? Mine has gold color trim

Fabric wallpaper? What glued to the wall? Why? Simply hang fabric to cover all walls or paint or leather wallpaper

I'd be curious to see your version of this style. I did the same with my guest bedroom - put paneling over the walls and tried to do a "modern" version of something that would be found in the Trianon ..... good style and taste never ages!

Ce travail, votre travail " tapissier d'ameublement " devait vous faire vivre de si belles sensations et émotions. J'aime ces magnifiques meubles ces dorures, ces tissus si bien travaillés; j'aime ces meubles ce sont de vraies oeuvres d'art. J'aimerais un appartement comme cela..... mais je rêve !!! Ce boudoir turc est si beau e l'idée du miroir en guise de volets c'est une super idée.... et c'est si beau.. Merci pour ce reportage. Dany.

Probablement Il serait intéressant de le présenter et diffuser au grand public

@Fitzroi We all wish that you were smart enough to speak and understand French!!😒✝️⚜️

@Fitzroi they are intelligent just make this vid not understandable to thoes of use that use the international trade language which is english.

@Fitzroi I am aware this isn't about trade..they do have the ability to speak english as it is taught. Also if there going to put it on y0utube using an international language they increase there braging right..

Petty Betty's😑

@@flyingdutchwoman Who cares about English being the international trade language? What about Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese spoken by millions of people? Over the next decades Mandarin Chinese will replace English as the first international language. Learn it now! A piece of good advice!

If you should know about them, then you will know about them.

I agree.

I so agree!!

In the meantime I hope the old material can be cleaned?!!

Why do you think the French do a poor job of promoting their treasures? Quite the contrary as France is one of the most visited countries in the world. People come from all over the world to see these treasures. To mass produce as you are suggesting would cheapen these treasures. Everything is not about money here. These were made for a queen and as such should be at the highest level of quality. There are many reproductions one can find to do as you are asking.

De l'époque de Marie Antoinette reste les boiseries. Tout le mobilier est de Joséphine.

This is quite true! In fact, Fontainebleau is the true expression of French monarchy and its history. The château contains superb examples of French Renaissance interiors, and showcases the different decor from this period through the Napoleonic era.
