Chateau de La Ferte Saint-Aubin. Part 2.
The Sitting Room. The paneling, floor and chimney date back to Louis XVI (late 18th century). The room includes an 18th century Persian carpet, a pair of gilded wooden consoles and furniture covered in Aubusson tapestries dating back to Louis XVI. The large mirror on the left has a medallion portrait of Marshal de la Ferte Senectere painted in 1670, with a portrait of Duchess de la Ferte Senectere, his second wife, painted by Mignard in the 17th century, facing it on the mirror above the chimney.The Billiard Room. This room was entirely redecorated by the O'Gormans around 1911. It had originally been a bedroom with 18th century paneling. The room has a beautiful set of neo-gothic furniture brought back from Britain by the O'Gormans, each piece featuring their arms and motto. The billiard table comes from the Chevillottess in Orleans.
