Ink-colored walls with thin gold accents provide a proper "frame" for this collection of classical artwork. The careful arrangement of elements is what keeps the space from looking staid. Under more orderly circumstances you might end up with a room that suffocates. Instead, elegant, rich-toned furnishings cater to the period pieces and help to showcase their fine craftsmanship. Accents such as the gilded gold frame for the Neoclassical painting from the 1800s, the astrolabe (an astronomer's tool dating back to the 1400s), and the simple base that holds the bust all reinforce the regal feeling of the decor.
