English Gaspar Homart masterpieces.
I’m reorganizing my boards on Pinterest – mostly the ones with art nouveau style furniture and such. So I have decided to make special board on Gaspar Homar. I recently copied his music stand and art nouveau sofa.
Gaspar Homar was born in Spain in 1870 and died in 1953. 82 years, huh? Not bad at all. I found his biography only in Spanish ( and my Spanish sucks to be honest) but I managed to find out that not only he was a fantastic cabinetmaker but he also was into mosaics and house decoration, lighting etc.
Here is on of such houses, all the furniture is now in the museum in Catalonia:
Dollshouse from Kensington Palace
This time I had to make a break, I have a terrible luck with nannies. I’m hoping to get one next week, but for now I’m super jealous of those lucky girls who have grannies 🙂 My kid just turned one last week and I’m not getting younger, the good thing about birthdays – I got a superb present from my husband, Proxxon planer. I had no time to test it properly, so I’ll leave it for now till the next post.
Now for some photos from London, this time – from Kensington palace and V&A museum, this one is a dollhouse which was made for Queen Victoria:
History of Furniture
А помните я хотела рассказать про книгу по мебели, которая мне очень понравилась?
Это книга по американской мебели, по 18му веку, но там есть куча идей и хороших замечаний, которые будут интересны любому, кто подустал от сухих перечислений фактов в разных книгах по истории интерьеров.
Автор этого чуда – Джеффри П. Грин, книга вышла в серии Fine Woodworking, так что от книги можно было ожидать только хорошее.
Я разобью рассказ на несколько частей, ну а если вам доступно чтение в оригинале на английском, то настоятельно его прочитать, не пожалеете. Сегодня пока что про якобинский период.
