So basically this is a $15K American Dollars oven. But it is very pretty. |
$61K American Dollars. Really. |
Oh, you know, just a ceiling |
"Mother and Child" by Sir George Frampton, 1894 |
Earrings, 600-700, Byzantine Empire...I really like these...Also, they have peacocks in the centers which were a popular emblem symbolizing immortality and resurrection. |
Two tapestry panels from 300-400, Egypt. What? Needlework that was made in the 300s and survived until now. That is awesome. |
This is St. James the Great -- but I can't read my photo about when and where it is from. Sorry. Isn't his form and face nice? |
St. Peter, 1520; Eastern Netherlands; He is holding a key because Christ tells him that he will be given the keys of the kingdom... |
The entire front to a building in Renaissance Italy...removed and rebuilt here. There were things like this everywhere in here. |
An incredible piano... |
This ugly and great German stove with a built in chair for warming up. 1577, Hans Kraut, builder. |
My weapon of choice -- a very pretty, silver-clad crossbow. |
A door from the 1200s -- a 700 year old door. French. |

Staircase, 1522-30; France; From a central hall in a large town house in Brittany; |
Exact plaster replicas of Italian masterpieces... |
Tiny miniature portraits...swoon! Most of these are watercolor painted onto thinly sliced ivory. This is by Richard Cosway of Arthur Wellesley, Later Duke of Wellington, 1808. |

George Engleheart of John Dyer Collier (writer and editor of two periodicals, He was friends with many literary figures, including William Wordsworth.), 1785. |
Andrew Robertson of the Rev. John F. Colls B.D. But he totally looks like Mr. Collins in the Gwyneth Paltrow version of Jane's Austen's Emma. Totally. |
Isaac Collier of an unknown man, 1590-1600. This is my favorite male portrait. |
Hans Holbein of Jane Small, born Pemberton, 1540; Jane's husband Nicholas Small was a wealthy London merchant; Watercolor on vellum. |
