Rule of thumb I



Be contrary. Adopt that which is unfashionable and make it your own.




 William IV figured rosewood sofa table 

The rectangular top  above a shaped frieze drawer on carved pillar supports with paw feet.













Late 18th century Portuguese rosewood side table

Serpentine top above a frieze drawer and a scrolling-foliate carved apron, 
on cabriole legs with ball and claw feet







Power dwells apart in its tranquillity,
Remote, serene, and inaccessible...

Mont Blanc (L 96-97), Percy Bysshe Shelley
