Is the owner of the house married or not?

Thumbs up

I ALWAYS ENJOY SEEING COLLECTIONS DISPLAYED WHERE THE OWNER CAN BE SURROUNDED BY THEM AND ENJOY THEM DAILY. NO DOUBT HE SPENT MANY HAPPY HOURS AT HIS DESK SURROUNDED BY HIS TREASURES. HE HAD QUITE A VARIETY OF ITEMS EVEN A KNIGHTS HELM AND A SAWFISH SNOUT.

Very nice collection...
I think that the pictures are from a magazine or book.
The frame on the wall is a family tree?

What a rather ecletic collection.
It looks though as the room is not used for daily life and instead turned into a museulogical space.
Lucky me; most of my pieces are hanging on the walls around my actual dining/living room.
... and i am married ... obviously with a tolerant woman

I think the pictures are from the book "Greek Style" which has some very nice pictures of the interior of traditional and modern Greek houses.
