A sala Varengeville

ca. 1736–52, with later additions
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 525
A bela escultura, parcialmente em alto relevo, é a característica mais relevante deste boisere ( painéis revestidos de madeira) da sala, originalmente de uma das residências privadas parisienses do século XVIII, o Hôtel de Varengeville, que ainda existe, embora tenham sido feitas muitas modificações, no número 217 do boulevard Saint-Germain. Embora os painéis de madeira pintados e dourados tenham sido decorados com elaboradas volutas, ramalhetes de flores e motivos de rocaille, a decoração permanece em grande parte simétrica e, portanto, não é um rococó em todo seu apogeu. Troféus aludem aos conceitos e valores, como a música, a jardinagem, a fama militar e a glória principesca, enquanto os pássaros com pescoços longos pousados nas molduras ornadas dos espelhos e dos painéis de parede refletem o interesse do período pelo exótico.
