A salon was an event in a private home where men and women met to amuse one another and increase their knowledge through conversation. This 17th and 18th century French pastime was imbued with a certain kind of allure and intrigue, and paintings of these glamorous gatherings depict elegantly dressed participants with intricately designed rugs at their feet.
