This was an attempt to emulate the rich, wood-paneled, dark, rich luxury of old money.
I remember thinking as I walked through there: "Wow, this is what it's supposed to look like"
Did the bear still live in the moat or was the bear only in the moat historically. Regardless I am disappointed that there are no pictures of the moat.
Bear was sleeping, it was at night. Only pic I have is this, it was not very impressive but it smelled like a bear lived there.
Thank you I am now contented. Also bears are fucking great I don't care if it was asleep or not.
Was it a panda bear or a polar bear?
Internet says: "The area's most famous resident is Medvěd Jiří (George the Bear). He is a black and brown Himalayan bear that lives in the enclosures at the castle's base. His appearances are rare, but his entrances are always sure to cause a stir among visitors."
Oh wow. Thank you for sharing these with everyone.
To be completely fair, great grandma's pattern china set probably did not include multiple 24" serving platters. Those pieces on the wall are a different class of china completely, and are probably way older and more valuable.
Exactly!
I think it also somewhat closely matched a lot of the clothing being worn at the time too.
Reading Vonnegut's Dead Eye Dick and the top photo is how I pictured his dad's attic. :)
