This dining room ensemble (early 19th c.) was commissioned by Empress Joséphine. Enlarged with a semicircular extension and laid with black-and-white marble, the room merges classical symmetry with imperial luxury—reflecting Joséphine’s refined aesthetic and political role in shaping Napoleonic taste.
