The grand history of the mid-19th century Indonesian paintings evolved around a young man of royal descent, born in Terbaya, Semarang, Raden Saleh.

Raden Saleh spent almost half of his life wandering through Europe and was accepted in the royal circle of Europe. His life was colored by the praises of all European artists. Some of his masterpieces are found in several museums and in the private collection of European Royal family.

This suite, which features warm 19th century atmosphere, is dominated with priceless antiquities from 1850s. "Perkelahian dengan Singa or Fighting with Lion," a reproduction of one of the most famous paintings of Raden Saleh, decorates the wall of the corridor leading to the Raden Saleh Suite.

Originated from Gresik (East Java), an antique engraved door leads to Raden Saleh Suite's living room. Two engraved tables influenced by Arabic style and two antique mirrors border the entry to the living room. A large reproduction on the wall tells the story of the capture of Pangeran (Prince) Diponegoro in 1830 at the house of Magelang resident. Above the antique European credenza engraved out of teakwood, a large self portrait of Raden Saleh decorates the wall. Tang dinasty-green ceramic jugs and a cast iron European lamp decorate one corner.

In the bedroom, a painting of the wife of Regent Lord Terboyo, 1852 adorned one of the wall of this room. The bed of the Raden Sales Suite is an oversized engraved brass antique bed from 1850s draped with mosquito net.
