Ajuda National Palace, Lisbon
The original silk on the walls tells us this room was not restored yet. Replicas of the different delicate fabrics covering the walls of every room are being made on purpose to replace the old ones. This explains why the restoration of this palace is going on for years and costs a fortune, but it's worth it, of course.
The crochet covered ceramic lizards are a Joana Vasconcelos' creation and were part of her exhibition at the palace.

I can't even imagine the cost to replaces something like this. I do like those lizards.
What an interesting room!! I love the lizards!! Very different wall hangings! Great capture as always, Jose! Enjoy your weekend!!
hope there will be enough money to fund the restoration the right way.
She is so prolific! Love the lizards.
The lizards are a good touch. Restorations like this do take a long, long time.
I don't think the lizards fit into the decor.
This is outstanding. The palace is an international treasure.
I would not like to be responsible for keeping crochet-covered lizards dust-free.
Yikes, it looks like alligators on the wall! That would make it a hard place for me to relax.
Difficult restoration but I love the place. Hope all well Diane
Such elegance deserves to be restored whatever the cost, beautiful Jose.
