Day 25-365 "Intricate Carving"


Day 25-365 "Intricate Carving", originally uploaded by saralonde.

Still freezing outside, so I'm looking around my house for things to shoot.

This is the top of an antique piece we own. It is the top edge of a large marble-topped chest with a mirrored piece on top. The entire thing is quite large, but it was originally a shaving stand built by my husband's great-great-grandfather, Josiah Niece around the time of the Civil War. It's beautifully done in black walnut with the hand-carved features above. Ah, the stories it could tell!
