The French Room is in a post 18th century Empire style, which reflects a time of great French influence upon world events. Ancient civilizations are alluded to in the gilded architectural details, which infer the French Empire's relationship to these lasting historical influencers upon European thought, architecture and culture.
A tapestry fragment of the 16th century on the rear wall is part of the unicorn mythology, symbolic of chivalry and resurrection. Various medallions in the display case picture prominent French authors, musicians, and painters.
