What I'd like for Christmas ..




A plaster cast from the Parthenon Frieze



to go with the hand I bought in a specialist Paris art shop 





and the foot from the Sir John Soane Museum

    I nearly bought a plaster cast of a foot the other day here at Astaire de Villiate but decided to spend my money on drinks at the Meurice instead. LOL. Hope you get all you wish for this Christmas! xo

    Ah Stefan, maybe that's where I got my hand! I long to remember where it was.

    Perhaps a mafia friend could oblige?

    Crazy about plaster casts, (so long as it isn't Michaelangelo's David turned into a table lamp) but I'd take one of your drawings any day of the week.

    Mr Worthington, that's a fine compliment thank you. I somehow think you should have the John Soane foot for your J S library.

    One can never have too many plaster casts---I remember a World of Interiors spread many years back---a flat completely filled. I was smitten

    DED, I find that World of Interiors is generally smitten with plaster casts
    and that's why I like it!
