It has a Charles IV bed made in mahogany wood decorated with rose deRoom of the Marquis bois wood, a night table and an empire chest with rose de bois style. The bed has fine and elegant lines, the legs are ended with pineapple shape. In the left wall of the room there are two chairs with the similar style and one of them is situated in the hall, with romantic style, made in the XIX Century. It is very elegant and simple, it has the legs curved, where the back is linked three times, showing a different decoration different in all of them, as carved initials or a rose de bois labour.
        It is standing out an anonymous board that represents "The Adoration of the Three Wise Men" or the rug made by the Real Fabrica de Santa Bárbara (Royal Factory of Santa Barbara) where its geometrical motives and red-yellow colours are in concordance with the furniture and the other decoration of the lounge.
