Consoles at Olympia




My consoles (hah I say "my" I WISH they were mine) were exhibited at the Winter Olympia and looked absolutely beautiful. Butchoff's stand looked so elegant. I always find that pieces look good in the studio, but look magnificent when dressed. The marble tops are particularly fine.

Silver Leaf Guitar


Another strange gilding job. I love this look though. The client wanted the silver leaf untreated which means it will very gently tarnish over time, and he wanted it rough around the edges (probably difficult to see from this picture) but it looks "bashed about and beautiful" as he requested.
