Chatsworth

On the first floor landing stand two baby carriages and a childs sleigh. One is made to be pulled by a goat and the shafts are in the form of snakes, the family crest. It was probably designed by William Kent for the 3rd Duke's children

The grey marble basin (1649) under the window was where the dishes from the nearby dinning room were rinsed. The white marble bath is 19th century in the classical style. The bronze figure of Mercury was cast for the 6th Duke after the orginal in Florence by Giambologna.

Several attempts at decoration on the upper walls were made for the 1st Duke. High up are coloured paintings in the style of Verrios ceiling. There are three sculpted figures by Caius Gabriel Cibber (1630-1700) brought in from the garden in 1692 and busts were placed in the niches. Finding these not enough the Duke had the grisaille panels painted on the walls to resemble sculpture. The door-cases are carved in alabaster from Staffordshire.
