I've seen some similarly ornate bedrooms in UK stately homes over the years - I can't imagine how anyone could sleep in them.
I can't find a good specific example online, but here are some in Versailles:

Wouldn't mind spending some days in the retreat - but maybe not in that particular bedroom

Heh-heh, thanks, Anthea!
Good pics, Icy. I remember similar from other baroque castles in Germany. Nymphenburg is a gorgeous horror.
One count I met has a down-at-heels Schloss in Upper Franconia. Great art collection, but they can't afford to restore the whole thing. The presentation staircase is a picturesque ruin with 365 marble putti.
The poor family has to live in an apartment to one side ot THAT.

"It was said of the French writer Guy de Maupassant that he ate dinner in the restaurant of the Eiffel Tower every night of the week, and when asked why, replied, "Because it's the only place in Paris from where you can't see the Eiffel Tower.""
