Louis-Philippe and Marie-Amelie had ten children including a daughter Louise who married the King of Belgium.  When Louise visited her family in France, she had a bedroom set up in the Trianon Palace.

The bed she used had formerly belonged to the Empress Josephine at the Tuileries Palace Josephine’s salon  furniture was also used in the room. 

Louis-Philippe had decreed that no money be spent on furnishing the Grand Trianon for his family which is why the Empire style furniture from the time of Napoleon was reused.
