"Design for the Galerie de Bois, Château de Chantilly" is a notable architectural work by the 19th-century French architect Félix Louis Jacques Duban, known for his contributions to the restoration and redesign of historical buildings in France. The Galerie de Bois, or Wooden Gallery, was part of Duban's extensive renovation project for the Château de Chantilly, a historic estate located in Chantilly, Oise, about 50 kilometers north of Paris. The Château, which dates back to the 16th century, was rebuilt in the 1870s after suffering extensive damage during the French Revolution.

Félix Duban, born on October 14, 1798, in Paris, and passed away on October 8, 1870, in Bordeaux, was a prominent figure in the French architectural scene, particularly known for his work on the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His design for the Galerie de Bois was part of a larger commission to restore and modernize the Château de Chantilly for its owner, Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale, who was the son of the last King of France, Louis-Philippe I.

The Galerie de Bois was envisioned as a luxurious addition to the Château, intended to house the Duke's extensive collection of paintings, manuscripts, and decorative arts. Duban's design reflected the Renaissance Revival style, which was popular during the 19th century, characterized by a harmonious blend of classical proportions with rich ornamentation. The gallery was to be constructed primarily of wood, with intricate carvings and panelling, embodying the grandeur and elegance of the historic estate.

Duban's work at Chantilly is significant as it represents the 19th-century approach to historic preservation and the interpretation of past architectural styles. His designs were informed by a deep understanding of historical context, combined with the innovative use of materials and techniques available during his time. The Galerie de Bois stands as a testament to Duban's architectural philosophy, which balanced the respect for historical accuracy with the creative expression of contemporary design.

Today, the Château de Chantilly and its grounds, including the Galerie de Bois, are open to the public as part of the Musée Condé, which houses one of the finest collections of historical paintings and manuscripts in France. Duban's contributions to the Château de Chantilly continue to be celebrated for their artistic and cultural significance, reflecting the rich tapestry of French architectural heritage.
