Most of the mansions that were built in 18th century Kozani have been destroyed. The Kozani Folk Art Museum contains parts of some woodcarvings from the Harisis Trantas mansion (late 17th century), which are closely related stylistically to the woodcarvings in the church of Ayios Nikolaos and of the 'kalos ondas' of the Tziminakis mansion (late 18th century), which have been removed to the Benaki Museum in Athens (gift of E. Stathatou). The Kozani Folk Art Museum has also acquired the 'bas-ondas' of the mansion belonging to G. Sakellariou (late 17th century) with its ornate painted decoration.
