France, 1630-1651, near Paris. The ”Château de Maisons-Laffitte” has been built by
René de Longueil and his wife Madeleine Boulenc de Crévecœur.
One room of this castle is interesting from our point of view: ”Cabinet des Miroirs”.
This particular round room has a splendid marquetry inlay composition worked in wood, pewter and ivory.
This marquetry work has been restored relative recently.
This image shows the work partially.
