I always find it so rewarding to stop and take the time to appreciate the little details in furniture. Today I have been captivated by this handmade escutcheon on a William and Mary chest of drawers, dating to circa 1700. #antiques #antique #escutcheon #keyhole #williamandmary #circa1700 #18thcentury #walnut #burledwalnut #burl #veneer #lion #unicorn #coatofarms #unitedkingdom #uk #england #scotland (at The Antique Guild)

Gosh I love being home. Enjoying the stunning views we are blessed with down here. (Usually I sit in my great-grandmothers chair to read and looking inward or at the church tower but wanted to be with the pups on their sofa. We get views in exchange for the noise and heat of Henley Street. Hahaha. God giveth, God taketh away. 😉 #feelingthankful #artdeco #burledwalnut #sunsphere #downtownknoxville #martinharrisart #oakspittmancollaboration (at Temple-Pittman House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FcGuGgBS7/?igshid=z623ocjvheez

I loved my Bentleys. They presented the best of old world refinement and civility and they 'took to the road' as the two conniving used car salesmen from School for Scoundrels would say in seducing their customer played by Ian Carmichael. On one notable rainy night, one of my R- Types maintained 90 mph from Los Angeles to Palm Springs without concern to my three passengers--what could be more civilized than that? But really, the highly polished wooden dashboards summed up the essence of the marque perfectly and I never tired of driving mine in London or Los Angeles... #bentley #bentleyrtype #bentleymklV #bentleystype #burledwalnut #filmmakerslife https://www.instagram.com/p/BzXy9eIlout/?igshid=1qfhebarty8xe
