- Notes
- 喫煙室とは会食のあとに男性たちが煙草や葉巻を燻らせながら歓談する部屋。1階小食堂と同様、床の間のある和室仕様に椅子・テーブルという和洋折衷の部屋であった（喫煙室は1983年の美術館開館時に改修）。小椅子3脚、長椅子1脚、安楽椅子2脚である。デザインは宮内省内匠寮が担当したが、意匠が酷似していることから、フランスの装飾美術家ジュール・ルルーの家具を参考にしたと考えられる。「朝香宮邸新築工事録」図面から、竣工当初の家具で、国産品であることが判明している。平成12（2000）年に、布や木部の漆仕上げ（ウレタン塗装）の修復を行っている。The smoking room was a room where men enjoyed chatting over cigarettes and cigars after dinner, and like the small dining room on the first floor, it was a Japanese-style room with an alcove and chairs and tables (the smoking room was renovated when the museum opened in 1983). The room was furnished with three small chairs, a chaise longue, and two easy chairs. The furniture was designed by the Ministry of the Imperial Household, but it is thought that the design was based on furniture by French decorative artist Jules Leroux, since the design is very similar to his work. According to the "Asakamiya Residence New Construction Record" drawings, it is known that the furniture was made in Japan when the building was first completed. In 2000, the furniture was restored with a lacquer finish (urethane coating) on the fabric and wood.
