Porcelain boudoir of Maria Amalia of Saxony, Royal porcelain room at Capodimonte Museum, Naples, Italy

The quadrangular room features walls entirely covered with porcelain slabs, twelve pilasters separating six large mirrors, and floral garlands decorating the surfaces.

Created between 1757 and 1759 for Queen Maria Amalia's apartment in the Royal Palace of Portici, the boudoir moved to Capodimonte Palace in 1866.

The decor incorporates Chinese-inspired themes, including scenes of daily life, animal motifs, plant designs, and musical instrument trophies across the porcelain panels.

Located in the Capodimonte Museum, the boudoir measures 721 centimeters in height, 478 centimeters in width, and 670 centimeters in depth.

The ceiling chandelier depicts a palm tree with a monkey climbing it while a young Chinese figure teases a dragon with a fan at its base.
