Villa Kerylos, 2

 More from our visit to Villa Kerylos...

More mosaic

Three-legged reading table; most of the tables were three-legged

Library

Vicki studying the ceiling work

View from the study

Reinach's standing writing table

Love the alabaster lamps

Heating vent

In the Amphityros, a statue of Pallas Athena

Now in the Triklinos, the dining room; one could dine reclining

The dining room also loaded with artifacts

Now in the Andron...really a sort of great hall, reception

Silver replica of a classical Greek krater (for mixing
wine and water (!))

Incredible marble everywhere

More Carrera...altar for sacrifices to the gods

Andron from the other end

Reinach had to have a piano, so it was here in a sort of family room,
concealed in this beautiful chest; all the furniture was marquetry, BTW,
and beautiful; note the little pedal box

Madame Reinach's bedroom; larger than his bed...

Her shower...note all the valves; alas, no hand-held

Marble tub; but maybe not Carrera

More incredible mosaic; the family did not like the beds

In Reinach's bedroom...Dionysus sails the pirates' ship...they have
been transformed into porpoises

Reinach's bed, flanked by gorgeous columns and murals above

Incredible place...so glad we visited!
