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

What a fabulous job was done. I wonder what his normal work is like.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a group of very fine craftsmen!
ReplyDeleteI wish we could have more craftsmen than artists...
ReplyDeleteThat would be an awesome exhibit.
ReplyDeleteVery nice reproduction! I also like the shadows on the red wall.
ReplyDeleteThey look like twins.
