HFF

Jai Vilas Palace, Gwalior, India. Crystal balustrades and a 5 tonne Venetian glass chandelier. This is one of the most opulent palaces in India. The Maharajah of Scindia spared no expense. In the grand formal dining room, with a colossal U shaped table is a solid silver miniature railway line running the length of the table, along which ran a silver train. Each carriage contained a liqueur, eg port, cognac, whiskey, and cigars. The train would deliver these to each guest at their seat. And yes...I saw it!

Have a wonderful weekend...most of all, stay healthy and well. Hugs from Australia

oh l' injustice du monde ! et peut-être qu' à côté de ce palais, de l' autre côté des murs, il y a des intouchables minés par la faim, la pauvreté et la maladie....

Wow, very noble and classy looking! But on the other side it's hard to imagine that the people were starving while the rulers reveled in luxury... HFF Diana, take care of you.

All that crystal is amazing. I wouldn't like the job of cleaning that chandelier, - I would be afraid to touch it! A lovely shot Diana and the idea of the train bringing drinks of choice to the guests made me smile. What excess! Did the train stop for you?!!! HFF and have a great weekend and stay safe.

A lovely image of this OTT opulence, Diana. I'd never have thought of crystal balustrades, let alone drinks delivery by a silver train! HFF, stay safe, love and best wishes for the weekend. XX

Hi Diana

A very nice picture, which I really like

Fantastic red colours!

I hope that chandelier doesn't fall, especially at 5 tonnes!!!!!

I stayed in a hotel in Wernigerode, Germany, and the restaurant delivered your beer to your table by a little railway.. (I don't think I have any pics to share though)

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
