<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2626123, member: 13464"]The more I look - the more interesting it becomes. I do get the feel that it isn't "new"... I agree with the canal and a more Belgian/Amsterdam feel. I love the barley twist furniture... the HUMUNGOUS clock... the huge windows... the curtain on the tiled fireplace (another vote for Amsterdam)... the servant?... the little girl and the dog...and the couple...the ruffled figures in the paintings...the carved ornate door and "sideboard"?...the massive urn on the mantle! For being a "simple" looking tapestry...there is a lot of detail! One thing I notice is the proportion... whomever designed it paid a lot of attention to 15/1600's "things"... the chairs are unusually short as they would have been then...and the massive clock. The ruffs in the painting are 15/1600's. IS the painting peeking out behind the mantle a windmill? Hmmm.... a LOT going on in this one! I really like it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheerio</p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
