I'll take these too!
These are great Jack!
Yes, I'll take them both! Great capture, Jack, and what wonderful exhibition! Enjoy your weekend!
How interesting - and how good to know that kind of craftsmanship isn't lost.
A very good replica. And the tapestry is very striking.
Not sure you nailed this photo Jack!
What craftsmanship!
A chair well over 200 years old, that's admirable! Good stuff!
God bless you!

What a fabulous job was done. I wonder what his normal work is like.
I am not sure about the spiral staircases either. I am sure the architects of these old factories would be shocked to see that people want to live in them.
The name "Eliphalet" is one I haven't heard before. I like it almost as much as I like his chair!
Looks like a group of very fine craftsmen!
I wish we could have more craftsmen than artists...
That would be an awesome exhibit.
Very nice reproduction! I also like the shadows on the red wall.
They look like twins.
