The Throne Room was Built under the reign of His Majesty King Leopold II and is decorated in the centre by four low reliefs by Auguste Rodin. They represent the economic activities symbolising the Belgian provinces, with the exception of that of Brabant which hosts the Palace on its territory. The Scheldt and the Meuse, symbols of Flanders and Wallonia, by Thomas Vinçotte, are above the doors. Parquet in oak and exotic woods, and bronze and gilded chandeliers confer a monumental and prestigious appearance to the throne room.
