Smoking room
After dinner, the men
their own place to have a smoke, some cognac and some men's
talk or read a book. The ladies will be met later in the kitchen..
Of course, like every room, it
s a center piece and I decided, they could have the use of
this vase by Capodimonte (1890-ish) filled with fresh garden flowers..

Of course they
tobacco from the jar to keep it moist and a pleasure to smoke, the
small cylinder with the greyhound can be filled with cigars or cigarettes.

a box to put the cigar clipper or other little things in

Then they
a good pipe to use:

something either to hold the matches

some nice
book-ends to keep their interesting literature at it's place:

some
tools to poke in the fire 
So now we can join the ladies in the Kitchen to see what is going on
there
