On our last day in the UK we went to Chatsworth, former home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. This view features a metal sculpture by Manolo Valdéz in the foreground and Chatsworth House in the distance.
The house and gardens are of a scale and magnificence hard to grasp in a single visit. Here are a few notable sights—first, the dining room ready for dinner for twenty…
…and the portrait hall…
…and some beautiful fabrics, especially this jacquard velvet upholstery and one of the many examples of sumptuous passementerie.
And a fitting image to end this wonderful day: a handsome lion in the sculpture gallery.
