A Royal Doghouse Built for Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette, Queen of France from 1774-1792, was fond of her dogs and could afford to buy them luxurious homes far beyond what the average human could afford to live in. This is a doghouse made for her by the famous French furniture builder Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené. It's currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It's made of beech and pine wood covered with gold and cushioned by silk and velvet.
