It exhibits precious objects made by artists such as Renè Lalique, Legras, Calderoni and is completed in the furnishing of a house, with furniture designed by Ernesto Basile and Carlo Zen.
In the exhibition system each piece is in fact shown in its natural functional setting, so that the lived experience, the history and therefore the function of information and knowledge are more transparent.
The entrance welcomes Sicilian furniture made to a design by Ernesto Basile. Then the living room afterwards stands out a console and a planter with a dwarf inlaid wooden mirror. In the display case you can see pieces in silver, Sheffield and ivory, with a highly sought-after vase by Legras and two prezuise bowls by Renè Lalique, in crystal, decorated with the acid lost wax technique.
The dining room with two sideboards inspired by Nancy's school, an abbillè table. In the boudoir where the hostess spent her time, a precious porcelain bibelot stands out on the marble dressing table. The master bedroom is elegant, furnished with care and attention to detail. One room in the house is dedicated to the nurse. And there is also the Singer sewing machine from the early 900s.
In the private visits room we find a console, a mahogany wood mirror with polychrome glass, an armchair next to a mute servant with three shelves in inlaid wood, and on the wall a hanging vase holder in polychrome ceramic. (Source Municipality of Chiaramonte Gulfi)
