Stuff that I've Done Part II

This is my Grandmother's Showcase.

Did a lot of work on this piece.

I had the wooden shelves retired, replaced by glass ones. Removed the wooden shelf supports and put adjustable brass rails.

The bevelled mirrors in the recessed panels at the rear really made this unit pop.

Pride of place still goes to my Grandfather's books which my mother kindly gave for me to pass on to future generations.

I have a picture of the full showcase somewhere. Will post it later

Stuff that I've Done Part I

This is a Prie-Dieu (Pray to God - in French) salvaged from Mount Mary's Basilica in Bandra, Mumbai.

It was being thrown out before U. H saved it for me. It is circa 1905.

Was is a terrible state when I got it, but saw it's potential and rightly enough.

It sits below our Altar Box holding one of Lynda's painting books.

I just love ecclesiastical furniture
