If memory serves (which it may not), this is an old decoration from the Savoy. It’s definitely something near the end of the Museum of London galleries, when you’re up to the twentieth century, and it’s from some famous landmark like the Savoy; if I have it wrong, please do let me know. Anyway, I loved the effect of the light from above on the raised carvings.

Goodness, that's lovely. Did you use a vignette effect here, or does it come natural from the lighting? However it came about, it's gorgeous!

That's natural, yeah -- they had a spotlight on the birds, so everything around it faded slightly into shadow.
