King's antechamber, a room in the State Apartment reserved for the King, at the Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte, designed by Louis Le Vau, 1612-70, and built 1658-61 for marquis Nicolas Fouquet, in Maincy, Seine-et-Marne, France. The room was converted to a library in the 18th century by Jean-Baptiste Berthier, for Cesar-Gabriel de Choiseul-Praslin. The Louis XVI mahogany bookcases hold 3000 books. The ceiling has stucco decoration by Jean Cotelle and paintings by Charles Le Brun. The oak and ebony writing desk with marquetry was made in 1708 by Andre-Charles Boulle and the walnut armchairs are 17th century, as are the chandeliers. The chateau is built in Baroque style, with decoration by Charles Le Brun, 1619-90, and grounds designed by landscape architect Andre le Notre, 1613-1700. The chateau is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
