The Chinese Drawing Room at Carlton House was the earliest expression of George’s fascination with the Far East. The combination of Chinese and Japanese works of art and bespoke furniture was the result of a collaboration between Holland and the French designer Dominic Daguerre. Thomas Sheraton published two views of the room in his Cabinet Maker’s and Upholsterer’s Drawing Book.

Acquired by Queen Mary in 1929
