Fernando,
This is the kitchen of Burghley House in the UK. The house and kitchen were constructed in the early 17th Cent. and has not changed a lot since. The implements are all old, early 20th Cent. at the latest. The house is still owned and occupied by the same family but is regularly open to the public

The notice, rather prosaically reads:-
"It is expressly ordered by his
Lordship that no servants shall enter
the Kitchen except on business
or remain longer than is necessary
to perform what they have to do"

Above the sign there are the heads of fourteen turtles that were apparently regularly brought live to the kitchen to be slaughtered to make soup.

Best wishes
Richard
