  • Love the details, especially the chain. Also the fact that the builder allowed some estetics in the design, rather than going fully functional and all sharp angles, places it solidly in its time. Great work!

    • That is the reason I do items and buildings from that period. They represent a perfect symbiosis of beauty and function.
