Act as a steampunk illustrator with 10 years of experience in Victorian-era mechanical aesthetics. Create a highly detailed image of a polished brass automaton serving tea in an opulent parlor. The automaton should have intricate [GEARWORK VISIBLE THROUGH GLASS PANELS], [COPPER PIPING THAT GLOWS WITH ETHEREAL STEAM], and [DELICATE CLOCKWORK HANDS HOLDING A SILVER TRAY]. The parlor must feature [CRIMSON VELVET CURTAINS], a [MAHOGANY TEA TABLE WITH INLAID MOTHER-OF-PEARL], and [WALL-MOUNTED GAS LAMPS CASTING WARM LIGHT]. Include subtle details like [STEAM RISING FROM THE TEAPOT'S SPOUT] and [FINE ENGRAVINGS ON THE AUTOMATON'S FACEPLATE]. The scene should evoke both mechanical precision and aristocratic leisure, blending industrial elements with luxurious decor.
