louvre arts and decoratifs






went to louvre. instead of the usual wings that i went to, i accidentally chanced upon the arts and decoratifs museum instead. i went in, at first, the security guard asked to check my bag, i was wonderign ifg he was being racist but apparently not - after that, he smiled at me. later, i wentto the bookshop of that museum wing and i thot for a moment the securrity guard was actually trying to SEE IF I WAS SHOPLIFTING. but i told msyelf -stiop being an idiot. i was.

anyway, i took some shots of certain items which i loved but they looked awful in these shots but i'll try to show u anyway.



this is one of those tables which was used by some countess in france and it was covered in BLACK turtle shell something (haha was i really listening?). but black was really in back then...




armoire - old ancient cabinet - i just absolutely love this piece of work. it looks so wonderful, a precursor to rococo style.















this last shot was taken when i was at the arts et decoratifs museum, just overlooking the tuileries gardens, which used to be where the old palace was during the medici dynasty - if u watched queen margot, you'll remember that old bitch dowager who was that bitch queen.

the wheel is set up once again, in the distance u see, at place de la concorde but i missed it - didnt have time OR DIDNT MAKE TIME to go. i've always wanted to sit on it but always miss it, either cos it was not set up by the time i wanted to or whatever lah.
