So many additional beautiful items were found at this museum. The rooms themselves were pieces of art. There was a very extensive discussion about the types of enamelling that they did. From a very rough enamel to a transparent enamel and everything in between. I did not have enough memory card in my phone to take picture of everything and I hope I don't overwhelm the viewer with so many pictures but we were certainly overwhelmed ourselves.
My favourite piece of art in the entire building
The ceilings must have been 20 feet tall and so very elaborate
This may have been a seal for using wax to seal up correspondence
Paintings were on the wall beautiful chandeliers on the ceiling great pieces of art in the centre
Each room had a different colour that set the tone for the artwork within
A surprising amount of cigarette smoking related items period these included ashtrays and cigarette holders and whatever this item is
Perhaps the highest art in enamel work is represented here period this is the inside of a cigarette case with light shining through it
The chandelier could be mid century modern but it's much older than that
Let's go to the Opera
I think this is a brooch
Very beautiful enamel work
Vibrant colors
A type of traditional shot glasses for drinking strong liquor
Another great painting on the wall
The double headed eagle here is a symbol of royalty on this nice silver platter
A happy chicken
Another translucent cigarette case
Even practical items were made very fancy
The Crying peasant is made of precious stones
Woof, I say woof!
Is snail also made of precious minerals
And first prize for the best bow tie goes to the photographer
Even the doors were done at the highest level of quality
An elephant for the top of your cane
A lone rhinoceros
The yellow room
It seemed a bit crowded but it's nothing compared to what came later
Gilded elegance
Tea anyone?
Purse or cigarette case?
It must have been hard to eat off this plate. He certainly wouldn't want to swallow a ruby with your larks tongues
The red room
Elegant silver work
A whole new Row similar to a Greek Frieze
