<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Lucius Septimius Severus&#8221; by unknown artist in the smoking room of The Wallace Collection, Marylebone, London, England</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Collection" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wikipedia</a>:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Smoking Room</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Displays: Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque Works of Art</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Smoking Room exhibits paintings and works of art from the Medieval and Renaissance periods, including the greater part of Sir Richard Wallace&#8217;s collection of Italian Renaissance maiolica. Sir Richard Wallace would have invited his male guests to the Smoking Room after dinner, to discuss affairs of the day over an enjoyable pipe or cigar. The room had oriental interiors, with walls lined with Turkish-style tiles made by the Minton factory in Stoke-on-Trent, the floor laid with a patterned mosaic. A small section of this interior survives in the alcove at the north end of the room. This was not only a highly fashionable look for a late Victorian smoking room but also practical, ensuring the smell of smoke did not linger in any fabric furnishings.</p>
