[QUOTE="Finnclouds, post: 9731290, member: 84680"]I’m guessing they employ starving artists or young students of art history as museum guards here ( there is one in every room).They are often quite bored-looking young girls and really happy if someone asks them something. I worked as a guard/guide in an old church when studying, and days could feel really long if no one wanted to hear what I was supposed to tell them. I also worked in a churchyard, tending to graves. Not too many visitors, not to mention residents, were talkative there either. P.S. If anyone is still interested in butter knife blade forms, I found a couple of more mid 19th C sterling knives that describe them as having “curved” blades in the same sense as I used the word. I’ll add pics or links if. [I] [/I][/QUOTE]
