My house will be inspired by the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic Movement esthetics Cods.

Tomorrow I will buy a Windsor chair and my hallstand plus a huge stoneware bottle (Bendigo Pottery!) Also two sets of cast iron cupids (will post piccys of all never fear.)

From the outside of my front door(Art Nouveau finger/push plate) to the back door there will be that esthetic theme. Ten art Nouveau majolica tubelined fireplace surround tiles are on their way to me!

Wait till you see the covered atrium that will be outside my kitchen!

Chair rails and picture rails will be in place Codsy!

well if the chair you posted is the one we are talking about .. it wont go in no mud room...

and mud rooms belong out on the veranda or back door.... not in a hallway... where your beautiful hall stand will go.

Well, will see codsy. Could always put a rude bench by the front door for shoe changing purposes.

But got my windsor chair. Not a single nail or screw in it. Made from green oak. The top of the back was bent using steam. It has two stretchers so pretty sturdy.

It was made in 1915 for government use—probably military.

The stoneware bottle, made for some industrial use is lovely. Handmade, stoneware, massive and no cracks or chips. Goodness knows what I will use it for Grin

just decorative I guess. Love it!

Just measured it: the bottle is 20", 50cm high and the inside of the mouth is 10.5cm, a tad over 4" wide. Pretty massive! I can see the fingermarks of the potter on the inside.

well done maybe you can grow a few flowers to put in the bottle shame to waste it it was meant to be useful....the chair sounds brilliant I went to the Versallies at the art gallery and its gorgeous to see what they did without the tools we have today is amazing...we should be ashamed of ourselves turning out the plastic crap like we do....

Will need to put something on the glove box part of the stand: some maroon had a pot plant there and overwatered and left the pot to stand in the overflow. In other words, there is a ring on the top of the glove box.

Posts: 45888 Gender:	Re: Pub Quiz #7 Reply #40 - May 6^th, 2017 at 7:48am I can see why someone included glass as a type of ceramic: stoneware is fired at a high temperature, over 1100°C, so that it vitrifies to some extent, partly turns to glass. Stoneware, even if not glazed can hold liquids.

A nice jardiniere with a plant in it would be good or my porcelain peacock might look nice. Have thought about the mudroom and of course you are right, codsy!

I've got a lot of ornaments - going back to my great grandmother. Many of them are in boxes gathering cobwebs in the garage. Unfortunately they've become clutter to me and part of me would have fun breaking them all, but when I watch Antiques Roadshow - I think I should hold onto them. It's a toss up between sentimentality or practicality.

I can imagine after I die - my son grabbing all these sealed boxes and throwing them in a skip bin. I might have to err on the side of practicality and sell them.
