Hello everyone, once again I have been snowed under with the amount of works I have on the boil. Sorry for not posting more frequently but I'm under the hammer as such. The last two months have been, well, hectic. I have started doing Antiquities recently and frankly, it's been freaking me out. It is a very strange headspace to be working on a piece that is 2000 years old. I've always been of the method to try and attain the same techniques as the original artist and achieve some kind of sympathetic result. It's very taxing but well worth the extra effort.
Anyways, here are a few photos, enjoy.

| A pair of Art Nouveau chalkware vases from 1910-20, they look in much better shape now. |
 |
| Centre piece is a bronze Indo -Chinese statue from 400 AD. Around the base are rings from various countries, predominantly the Middle East. |
 |
| These are probably the most stunning ivory carvings that I have ever seen. From China, about 1870-1910. |
 |
| Art Deco lamp, need I say more? |
 |
| Chinese Rosewood sculpture. Amazing piece that had been neglected for about 30 years, he weighs roughly 125 kgs. My studio is on the 3rd floor, ow. |

| Far left, Kohl bottle in the shape of a bird 50 AD. Background right, Bactrian horse amulet, bronze 5 BC. Foreground, 3 Mongoose coffins from Egypt, 25 BC |
Well, as you can see I have had a wide array of pieces coming through my door at the moment, some of the pieces are a tad weird but that's the luck of the draw with what has been made in the past. I look forward to seeing what is going to need help in being restored for the future.
Thanks for dropping by,
Cahl.
