In the 17, 18, and 19 Centuries, there was a great deal of focus on furniture as art. Even a part of the French Salon was dedicated to furniture. I don't think that we often remember that.
This piece is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
That is a beautiful piece! I love how you have included furniture in the daily art!
