18th century patina and abandoned

Can't help loving the colours and patina in these pictures.  The flower arrangements are long dried and dusty; the floor could do with a polish, the pretty canapé has just been draped rather than upholstered then pushed back to the walls as if preparing for an imaginary dance.  There's even an iron fold back gate at the windows, but it still works.

Proof again that it's the 'bones' that matter, even dusty and abandoned the essential qualities of the architecture cannot help but shine through.
