"apartment now called of the king (formerly of the queen); toilet cabinet; giovan francesco fariano (turin, 1681 - 1753, approximately) frescoed the vault with grotesques and chinoiseries, as well as the lambriggi (plinth) and the shutters of the windows, between 1737 and 1741; the portrait of polixena of hesse-rheinfels, second wife of charles emanuele iii, with his children vittorio amedeo and felicita, dating back to around 1729, is attributed to martin von meytens (stockholm, 1695 - vienna, 1770).;the fireplace display, in sculpted marble, dates back to the years 1737-41; carved, gilded and painted wooden corners in polychrome tempera, dating back to 1782. These corners, painted by bartolomeo monticelli, reflect with variations those of the dressing room of the apartment now known as the queen's apartment, documented in 1757 and painted by francesco servozelli (documented from 1749 to 1760 approximately); chandelier provided by the 1908 inventory leads one to doubt the originality of the furniture, or at least its relevance to the environment".
