4. Oriental-style room

Because of the colour of its walls, in the interwar period the room was called yellow. Nowadays, it hosts an Oriental-style room, a place where the host or the hostess could exhibit their collection of works and products originating from Asia (whose culture got a lot of attention in the 2nd half of the 19th century). There is a collection of the 19th century furniture originating from China and imitations of oriental products from Europe. Left to the entrance, on the wall a painting by Camille Rogier (1810?–1896) entitled Oriental Market. On the right, a sculpture of Guardian made of patinated bronze (Japan, 3rd quarter of the 19th century). Under the window, a faience figure of Kannon – the goddess of mercy (Japan, ca. 19th century).
