Let’s slow down this January after a busy holiday season and appreciate the little details. Have you noticed them?
I’m looking at some of the details on some of my French pieces.
Imagine, some woodworker sitting there for hours carving this.
Did you look at your feet and see the details on the furniture feet?
A few little flowers on the corner of a cabinet can easily go unnoticed… They are not very big but they are there!
What about the scrolling metalwork on this lock? How long do you think it took for someone to make this?
Did you notice the carving on the back of the chair? It’s hard to carve curls in wood.
Did you just open and close the cabinet drawers looking hastily for something? Or did you enjoy the details too?
A little flower motif in the scrollwork. It disappears quickly when walking by it.
A bet this large bouquet of flowers did not go unnoticed! An eye-catcher for sure!
Ah, but what about these? They were hiding up high on the armoire. I spy some grapes too! (and cobwebs…)
Just slow down and enjoy some of the little details.
I do the same! It’s amazing when one focuses on all the little details that went into creating these beautiful pieces! Happy New year!
