One of the most spectacular rooms in the American Wing, endowed in memory of Annie Laurie Aitken, the Richmond Room offers a glimpse of the grandeur of early nineteenth-century domestic life as it was lived by wealthy Americans. Purchased from a house built for the Richmond lawyer William Clayton Williams (1768–1817), the room's most notable features are its rich mahogany woodwork and blue-and-gray King of Prussia–marble baseboards. The modern wallpaper featuring scenes of Paris is a reproduction of the type sold in the United States in the 1810s. The elegant furniture by Charles-Honoré Lannuier and Duncan Phyfe further enhances the sophisticated Anglo-French aesthetic of the room.
