The Oak Room (originally called the Napoleon Drawing Room) is the most decorated room in the house, and was used for formal occasions.
It is encased in wood panels in the style of Grinling Gibbons, which took three artisans three years to carve.
The highly ornamented plaster ceiling was made by Italian craftsmen, and was enhanced by the use of indirect lighting in the ceiling.
Among other fixtures, the room featured a 10 feet (3.0 m) high Louis XVI style faux-gilt carved light standard with 24 bulbs.
