So either the modern-day curators who set the scenes in currently or formerly royal-affiliated homes have a taste for odd and interesting knicknacks…or it’s been a general trend in at least Euro-royal types to accumulate odd and interesting knicknacks. Herewith several examples from Huis Doorn.
Sad lessons one might choose to learn about war, its consequences and the end of dynastic rule from Huis Doorn, where the second and last emperor of the short-lived late 1800’s – early 1900’s German Empire lived out his last years in exile. Such an odd notion, really, royalty, when you stop and think about it, eh? Absolute rule, too, if you ask me: bad policy, full stop.
