Tyntesfield 2

[debris4spike]

As I have posted earlier, my pictures from Tyntesfield were going to be in 2 sections, so here is the other half ... images from the house itself ...

And, I start with this lovely fireplace (I have a soft spot for a fancy fireplace in National Trust properties)













Apparently the background of the wallpaper was red, and once up it was very dark, so they employed an artist to fill in the background with the creamy colour.









Detail of the carpet









Love the ceiling rose









Their coat of arms is crossed rapiers, so they had these candlestcks designed.













Actually an en-suite, made in the 1890s

Medicine cabinet - and some of the bottles ... Nitrate of Silver, there was also nitrate of mercury!



Love that bed!

It's a lovely place ... yes, I am really glad that I captured the corner of that carpet.

That's an impressive place

It is amazing - quite dark with all the wood, but still very much a "home"

A lot of the furniture and decorations are too much for my taste, but the floors are lovely.

Oh I love all the details ...I have lots of "bits", which makes life hard when it's housework day!!
