Dining room, tale of the chandeliers

This is the dining room of the palace, capable of accommodating quite a large number of people. Tim had read an interesting story about the chandeliers in here: They used to belong to the Norwegian royal family, who sold them when electricity was installed in their palace. The Danes bought them and put them in this dining room. Apparently the Norwegians borrowed them back recently to have copies made. I guess they regret having sold them!

Another lovely room from Christiansborg Palace:

The chandeliers are beautiful - can't imagine cleaning them :( They must have had candles originally. Another super shot V

makes mere country house dining arrangements seem rather modest
