Sometimes you stumble on something new online
I came across these on a completely unrelated search today. It's not often that I see a fantastic set that I haven't come across online before. This one is at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, and belonged to Franz I of Austria. Gold and Mother of Pearl.

Very, Very, VERY Nice indeed.
At times I seem to be blind in one eye and can't see out of the other so is it just me or is there only 6 razors/instead of a 7-day set

What are the burners for? Or are they lamps?

I don't speak German but clicked on one of the small boxes on the bottom right and found this. Originally Posted by dimab

What google translate is calling lamps looks like candle holders to me. But what do I know
