Just a few block from my flat is the Wallace Collection. A museum of 18th and 19th century furniture, protraits, paintings, bric-a-brac and all around amazing stuff.
It is housed in an incredible townhome. More like a mansion. They've kept many of the rooms decorated as a home with fabric wall coverings and matching floor to ceiling drapery. Chandaliers that are gorgeous and clocks that actually work through out.
There are also rooms of armour and armoury.
This picture is rather blurry but shows a tiled alcove. This tile was originally throughout this enormous room.
There was just so much to see. I kind of got sensory overload and am saving the rest for another visit.
