This was one of a pair and I loved their glum - yet baleful - look!
I am always sad for the bigger examples of taxidermy - this would have been a magnificent beast when alive.
A really OTT example of carving in this Burmese? chair.
Sadly, I think these old beams are just a bit TOO far gone to be reused in a house restoration.
Really?
REALLY?!!!
I love the naive folk-artsy carving on this little cupboard. One I would have liked to bring home with me.
A cock-fighting stool. Expensive. Would you believe my dearly beloved found the saddle-seat of one of these earlier in the day - in a BAD way I might add. It was £15 and the chap wouldn't budge on price, and I talked him out of it. Saying it was a lot of work to restore (as a stool!) I was not popular once we found this one!
Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgh!! The things that turn up!!
This stand always has lovely things on - sellable things! Wish I could get my hands on stuff like this where we are. Especially the little painted items - but then the chap here was a sign-writer, so makes and paints them himself. Pure profit and very commercial.
Finally a few views around the Malvern Hills.
This is British Camp. If I weren't about to go out of the door, shopping, I could write more about it. Will add something later . . .
