If you read my recent post on the Great Hall at this summer palace, you will recall that I said I was interested in the inventive way the chains/cords holding up the chandeliers are decorated. Here are some other examples of what I saw in the palace, along with a few other miscellaneous interior shots.

A little bronze kitten sits on a stool in front of the fireplace. I appreciate that someone took the trouble to decorate this room in this way.
