The taste for orientalism made this room essential. In 1865, the doors were decoratively painted with Chinese-inspired motifs, suggesting lacquer.
The ceiling, shaped like a tent, is in two-tone criss-cross natural silk.
On gala days, the access to this room was via the grand staircase.
During the visit of a Japanese embassy in 1864, King Luís decided to place the diplomatic gifts he received in this room: two Japanese counters in black lacquer and gold (17th-18th century) resting on European-made gilded wood carvings.
The chandelier was assembled with pieces from a service of Japanese Imari porcelain (18th and 19th centuries).
