One of the first (and most beautiful) lifts in Europe was installed in 1888 in a store that is now a Benetton shop. It’s in Lisbon's main shopping district and the lift, which is over a century old, is now out of service. However, it can be seen on the top floor.
The open doors reveal an Art Nouveau-style interior, with mirrors framed in gilt with floral motifs. The velvet-upholstered stools were for the ladies, who sat during the short journey.

~~HAVE A NICE DAY ~~
Magnífico! Tal como me descreveu, assim com toda a opulência da talha dourada e do veludo
ReplyDeleteOlá Isabel! Poder-se-á dizer que tudo era requintado na época, até um simples elevador! Obrigado pela visita e suas palavras.
