Louis XIV conceived Marly as an unofficial residence to house the royal family and some guest courtiers for short stays. In respect of propriety, its simple décor and furnishings reflected its status as country house that was not involved in the expression of the dignity of the Crown. Gradually, the king set up tacit rules regarding the luxuriousness of the décor and furniture adopted by his successors throughout the eighteenth century in country homes, official or otherwise, belonging to the Crown.
