The sequence of rooms built at Windsor for Charles II and his Queen, Catherine of Braganza, between 1675 and 1678, formed the grandest sequence of baroque State Apartments in England. They contain some of the most important works of art in the Royal Collection, many of them in the historic settings for which they were originally commissioned. Alongside magnificent examples of porcelain, furniture and paintings, visitors can also see displays of arms and armour, silver gilt and sculpture.

The Semi-State Apartments feature interiors decorated by Morel & Sedon, with a selection of furnishings and fittings taken from Carlton House. They comprise the finest example of later Georgian taste in Britain and have been restored to their original magnificence.
