Hi, I love this photo - the workmanship on the shelves and cupboards is exemplary. However, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. If this is a family home, are these simply shelves for sorting the laundry? There are a lot of them and they all have towels on them. My grandmother lived in a mansion that had been owned by a millionairess in the early 20th Century. The linen cupboard had shelves with labels stating where the linen for each room was to be kept, but not on such a grand scale as this.
