Description
To love beauty is to see light.
~ Victor Hugo
* ------------- *
One of the wealthiest women of Cuba, the Countess de Revilla de Camargo, lived in a neo-classical mansion designed by French architects known as The Small French Palace of Havana.
Built in 1927, it was elegantly furnished with exotic furnishings and artworks. Today, one can explore the rich collections in her former mansion , now called the Museo de Artes Decorativas (the National Museum of Decorative Arts) in the Vedado district of Havana, Cuba.
There are ten permanent exhibition halls with about 33,000 works dating from the 16th-19th century. This lamp is found in the Neoclassical Room.
