Кабинет

Designed by Jean Brandely French
 Woodwork by Charles-Guillaume Diehl French
 Mounts and large central plaque by Emmanuel Frémiet French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 556

Прототип этого кабинета, сегодня хранящегося в Музее д'Орсе в Париже, был представлен на Всемирной выставке 1867 года в Париже и вызвал не вполне положительные отклики. Однако Дьель, должно быть, был доволен результатами, поскольку изготовил настоящий кабинет, практически идентичный первому, персонально для себя. Центральная пластина этого нетрадиционного как по форме, так и по художественному оформлению кабинета содержит сюжет, восходящий к легендарному прошлому, и взывает к национальным чувствам французов. Здесь представлена сцена триумфа короля Меровея после его победы над Аттилой в 451 г. Меровей возвышается над колесницей, а возничий подстегивает волов, чтобы затоптать тело павшего врага.
