Real Life In London, Volumes I. and II.

CHAPTER VII
16/27

This is called the Grand Drawing-room, and is used by the King and Queen on certain state occasions, the nearer room being appropriated as a kind of ante-chamber, in which the nobility, &c.

are permitted to remain while their Majesties are present in the further room, and is furnished with stools, sofas, &c.

for the purpose.

There are two levee-rooms on the left of the privy-chamber, on entering from the King's guard-room and presence-chamber, the nearer one serving as an ante-chamber to the other.

They were all of them, formerly, meanly furnished, but at the time of the marriage of our present King, they were elegantly fitted up.
