Charlottenburg Palace, part 5

Next up, an exquisite room finished with silver leaf! It’s normal to walk through one of these rooms throughout Europe and see gold leaf finishing. But, I can’t recall ever seeing silver leaf used in the same way. I found it striking and beautiful. The choice of chandeliers in each room is also something special to behold.

And then you enter this room, finished with the sheerest of white fabrics over a dark pink field. The designs are composed of folded fabric. I have never seen anything like this before. Please see the label at the bottom.

And then we enter another magnificent room, filled with repeating design on all the walls and the ceiling. I liked it!

And finally, we pass through the upper landing of an amazing stairway. The label below bears some valuable info.
