ReplyDeleteThese are my favorite kind of pictures, VP. Whenever I travel, I take pictures of doorknockers, door panels, mail slots, and other small-scale architectural decorations. Nice!
ReplyDeleteVery detailed but so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery fancy---at least not leaning like my poor old barn. LOL Mb
ReplyDeleteWood: makes a welcome change from stone. Beautiful. I wonder if the scallops mean what I think they mean.
ReplyDeleteThe good old days . . .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful details! I love the last one the most:)
ReplyDeleteCiao! Beautiful photos! I would have enjoyed being able to watch the artisans/craftsmen creating these! Wood is such a warm medium, so full of life, more so than metal or stone.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting learning about de Larderel and the clean steam.
Saluti!
They must have been an important family!
