- While searching through the basement, I made an amazing discovery with a Titanic connection.
Discover Licrusta and their amazing history with the link below:

This type of filming suits you. You are talking about things you love and it can be heard in your voice and the sparkle is back in your eyes. Nice to see you back x
You are 100% correct. This is Michael's area of expertise and his enthusiasm is clearly evident. Keep going Michael!!
I agree fully! So good to see him back.
Beautiful💖💖☕great job Michael💖👌👍👊🤔😊
same thought
Agreed❤
Michael. It would be a really interesting video if you went along (delivered the covering) to the Lincrusta factory and spoke to them about the manufacturing process. I love how you bring in the history and link it to other parts of history. You are in your element.
Yes!
That is a great idea!
Would LOVE to see Michael do that if possible.😀
It might be safer to deliver it yourself! 😄 This is exciting!
This is a great idea and would make a amazing vlog
If it's too expensive, talk to a cnc shop. The fabric can be 3d scanned, rejoined and tidied up in software and cnc carved onto a roller. Even a 3d printed one might be good enough. There are factories that have huge liquid resin 3d printers who could replicate a roller with high levels of accuracy. You might even consider offering squares for sale to the public as a way of supporting the rebuild :) If necessary, the whole wall covering can be cnc carved flat and either stamped or just mounted into the paneling. I'd recommend trying to 3d scan or clay impression before sending it off just in case...
So just in case nobody in the past 900+ comments has said it, you really should frame one complete image of the original wall. All it would take is one question and you would get to tell the story all over again! Great find, Michael. And great job on the reboot. I came over here from the convent and I'm glad to have added your part of the story to my subscriptions!
Michael you are a natural storyteller, you have an amazing gift that it is so easy to listen to you, I could listen to you all day and never get bored, that is just amazing and well done to Florien for filming so well, he never had.a wobble/shake at all
Amen! Fantastic!
Agree 👍
When Michael is passionate about something, I could listen to him all day. The wall covering is absolutely stunning. ❤
I agree ❤
I feel those leaf elements with the berries are actual strawberries. The little vines coming off are the added detail which strawberries have. Strawberries were such a luxury when they were first brought to Europe
I came here to say the same thing. The leaves look wrong for strawberries, but the fruits look right. A larger image would be helpful.
I was thinking that the berry part was an artichoke. 🤔
That is gorgeous! If nothing else I hope you can save a piece big enough to frame & display it.
@@SewItzy Artichokes are in the thistle family and the leafy motif looks either like thistle or chrysanthemum 🌷
Strawberrries… or globe artichokes?
That wall covering is breathtaking!! I do hope they can recreate it. You have a natural gift of storytelling, Michael. Love your channel.
And I hope it’s going to be affordable.
Oh, Michael! I am so excited for you! My great-grandfather built a Victorian house in Upper Michigan in 1902 and covered some of the walls in Lincrusta. It is very unique and beautiful. When the house burned in 1992, I asked my father, who restored it, to put back the Lincrusta...and he did! This is a treasure beyond measure! I appreciate all of your efforts and perspective and love of these projects. Best wishes. Perhaps you will have some volunteers to help you paint it when the time comes?
Lincrusta is lovely stuff!!
Would love to see a photo of your Father's Lincrusta in his house😊
My sister restored a beautiful historic home in the Pacific Northwest Walla Walla Valley and used Lincrusta on the walls in the Grande Salon. It was very tedious putting it on the walls, but ever so beautiful once done. I loved the drama and intrigue of your storytelling in this vlog, Michael. You and your cameraman are producing very interesting episodes for your channel and I love seeing your new productions!
Congratulations Michael on that amazing discovery……who knows what treasure is hiding in your basement! You have unique talents.
Before shipping the sections of old, brittle lino based wall covering I would make two suggestions based on my own decades of experience with antiques:
The first is that the packaging is vital. You probably want to ship it flat, with something like aluminum foil next to it that will conform to the raised pattern without damaging it or sticking to it, next a thin layer of foam and/or styrofoam on each side just enough to keep the pattern from being damaged, and then on the outside a sheet of plywood on the front and the back with a frame around the edges to hold everything in place.
If you are still worried about it being brittle, I think that you will find that beeswax thinned with actual turpentine is more gentle and has a much longer lasting softening effect than white spirits on older linseed oil, it works as a low gloss polish, but you won't get it back off without using a strong solvent like white spirits because of the residual pine resin in the turpentine
Hope Michael reads this ;)
My goodness you’re a wealth of knowledge
😘😘😘
Don’t ship it, deliver it yourself! It would be much safer plus a great video content!
As someone else said, you should make a video ‘with’ Lincrusta! I’ve never heard of them before but this is fascinating and I’d love to see the process, from receiving the sample, how they go about recreating the stamp, to producing the final product and installation 👌🏼🤩
Michael, you are a natural born storyteller. Whatever your subjected you talk about, is fascinating, gripping, and educational, to your viewers. Thank you, for taking us along. Your attention to details ( the pattern on the floor of the titantic, who would've thought of talking about this) is remarkable. Welcome back Michael, you've been sorely missed.😊❤
If it turns out to be too expensive to have it done, please use your wonderful skills to create a wallpaper in the same pattern. You have so much talent it needs to be seen by the world.❤️
Anna of How to Renovate a Chateau Without Killing Your Partner could do it!
I thought that maybe they could do a GoFundMe to recreate it if it's too expensive but I'm hoping Lincrusta will cut them a deal considering it's a lost pattern that recreating could bring in revenue for them & bring continued interest in their brand.
@@Britbabe53 l thought the same thing Anna is an amazingly talented woman and she is doing videos on her wallpaper techniques.
Had that same thought-ask Anna.
I would think that Lincrusta have a patent on all their patterns so it can't be reproduced by other 3rd parties.
I know all château owners love looking for tunnels but personally I find this kind of search for the history of the building so much more interesting. This is just very exciting. Great video!
Incredible. When you began cleaning it my mouth dropped! I can't imagine why anyone thought it needed to be removed. It's timeless. I was way to excited to watch this. Perhaps you could start a funding campaign! Plenty of history lovers like myself would gladly donate to bring back such beauty!
Every episode is a lesson in history. I hope the Lincrusta company lets you go to see this manufactured.
Michael, this is astonishing good news! Much more interesting than any tunnel (to me). I've always thought there was far too little on any site about the Château de la Basmaignée, including its name, which was very hard to find. All videos can't be as dramatic as this one, but the château and cottage--and of course the family--are probably the greatest draws to your site...with one exception, your particularly winsome personality and exceptional genius for discovery and appreciation of every dimension of beauty. Thank you so much for every video completed, I hope, as an inspiration for others and never as a duty.
25 minutes about linoleum wallpaper and it's totally FASCINATING! Thank you Micheal.
My pleasure!
Michael this is the best video you have made since you’ve come back. I love the way you describe the information and it is so educational. I’m just fascinated I feel like you are natural at explaining things. Video was a little less cheeky and a little more antique-y, I feel like this is your recipe for success. I absolutely loved this video.
Definitely beats digging up the grounds on a wild goose chase
Oh! Michael what a wonderful episode. Your passion for this chateau is obvious. Keep it up young man. You make this 82 year old great great grandmother very happy here in Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Kay I’m also a 75 year old Grandmother from Australia… and i couldn’t agree more
That is absolutely amazing! I hope that they send you back the original so that you can frame it and hang it up inside of the Chateau somewhere as it is an original part of the Chateau. I wish that you can follow them through the entire process and let them give you a tour and everything so you could see exactly how they do everything and document it. I think you would be in your element if that were an option! Thank you so much for sharing this, it's beyond stunning words just cannot describe.
What a good idea!
That would be wonderful to see the process of recreating the wall covering
It is so incredible and amazing that this Lincrusta~Walton company still exists! That is an absolutely wonderful idea for Michael to tour the factory where this stuff is still made (hopefully in the original building) ...I saw a video on special tiles that are still made in England from the Victorian times ...multi-colored tiles that were endlessly complex and beautiful. A tour & explanation of how this lincrusta material was/& still is made would be great! I think he may have found his calling ...maybe as a Documentary filmmaker ...of antiques, other chateaus , and historical regions in France, England & other parts of Europe. I wish my artist-daughter could meet another artist like Michael to share such creativity with.
Love that Lincrusta is still available and your pattern could be reproduced. Your pattern is stunning! This could be the creation of a line of historic papers for the company to market. They should name this pattern for your château. In shipping, please consider building a crate for the linoleum and lining it with foam to cushion it during transit to help protect it.
A wooden sandwich will also help an protect.
And Lincrusta should send someone from UK in a van rather than relying of post services!!
This is very exciting news. You're an amazing Chateau Detective. You put all of those little pieces of information together. And now you've opened up the possibility that the original wallcoverings could actually be recreated as they were. This is incredible. Well done, Michael.
Michael, you are an encyclopedia! How do you keep all that detailed information in your head? Truly a amazing
Thank you, I’m just good at remembering what I have read or been told. I love to read about history and facts and it seems to stick in my memory.
@@DoingItOurselvesOfficialthat’s a feature of ADHD 😁. I’m the same.
ABSOLUTELY Love the intro and to see you back in front of camera Michael!❤ Just remember kiddo if it wasn't for you Stephanie at Chateau de la land, wouldn't have taken the step she did into your relm🎉look all the lives your changing! More then you can imagine!! Your incredibly talent Micheal and just an amazing "life force". You were named Michael for a reason .❤
Thank you so much!!
@@DoingItOurselvesOfficial Your welcome Michael! But it's the truth, if your religious you know who the Arch Angel Michael is.❤️that's you!! An AMAZING spirit and life force!!
@@robertdelaria3512 you're, not your.
Oh wow! This is amazing, and so historic (without sounding cheesy!) but I’d be totally hand delivering them myself if I was you! Absolutely amazing work michael
My thoughts exactly!
drive that thing to London and deliver personally. Don't trust the post.
Yes totally agree, hand delivery ❤
@@tory5325 glad I’m not the only one with these thoughts!!
Agree 👍
WOW! That wall covering is amazing! Thanks for sharing this piece of history with us, Michael.
What a find Michael, that wall covering is gorgeous. It was nice seeing the picture of the Chateau as it was in the ruined state, compared to now. So beautiful.
I think the wall covering is your best find yet. It is simply stunning, especially after you cleaned it. Hopefully, it won’t cost an arm and a leg to reproduce. I’m so thrilled for all of you!
I’ve a question, will you be designing any fabrics, patterns on tiles or wall paper? We all know the pass, yet the future awaits for someone to create it. A creation made by you would be well received.🙏❤️
Yeah, maybe this could be the beginning of a partnership between her and the pattern design!
I agree! Michael's designs are fabulous!! He really should do more and copywrite them 😊
They should sponsor you and do it for a nominal fee. It’s excellent advertising for them
This is my all time favourite episode to date. I love watching you all bringing history back to life. I pray they can recreate it for you and bring the grand rooms back to full glory. Ty for sharing. I wish I was rich enough to donate towards the cost to help but alas I’m not.
Can’t wait to see the transformation
This is so amazing! You must have been over the moon when you realized what you had uncovered in the basement 😃 So happy for your discovery and the ability to have it recreated by the original company!! 🎉💕🎊🥳
What an AWESOME discovery, Michael! How exciting would it be to be able to re-create the wallcoverings and be able to restore the dining room to its original design? Please keep us posted on what you find out after you ship the samples to Licrusta.
Would never have thought to find a video about linoleum so interesting. It's the conserving a piece of history that makes it really interesting but I like the patern too!
What an absolutely amazing video this was! What an incredible find! The wall covering is beautiful! And to think they used this company to decorate state rooms on the Titanic is a story in itself as it was just the 111th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic on April 15th. Your knowledge and details is so enjoyable to listen to as you tell these stories. I could listen to you all day as you tell us of your discoveries. This was truly amazing how you found this piece of history, where it was stored and then seeing it cleaned and polished up...incredible and beautiful! I can't wait to find out how this will unfold and I hope that they can and will recreate this for you. And a big thank you to Florian for filming this and capturing it all for us to see! Thank you Michael! (Maybe a road trip or train travel to London is in order to hand deliver it!)
Love love love your videos, Michael. It’s like a mystery history trip. That wall covering is absolutely screaming opulence, hope it’ll be within affordability.
Your excitement about the find was palpable Michael!
I love the pure pleasure on your face when you said you had found the original such a joy
When you started to describe it as a natural product with linseed oil,I was thinking Linoleum! Here in the U.S. it’s typically used on floors,(superior to rolled vinyl) however my brother put it on three walls surrounding his bathtub enclosure. Because there were no seams,there was never any leaks or mold. My brother-in-law decided to do the same thing, he picked a small “tile” pattern and forty years later,it still looks perfect,like the day it was installed and so easy to clean!🙌🏻 (I have never heard of anyone else using linoleum on the wall)😉
What an incredible find! I'm so glad that you are the one who discovered it and realized its value. It is gorgeous. The dining room will be amazing when restored. I see I'm not the only one commenting that I would hand-deliver it if I were in your shoes. Thanks for sharing this discovery with us. You've got impeccable taste.
Wow what a treasure to find! Lincrusta is a cherished brand even here in American Victorian homes & it's rare to find. I can only imagine how excited the folks are at Lincrusta factory to see one of their lost patterns located with enough to possibly recreate it! I agree with some other comments that you should hand deliver this wall covering to the factory so that you can film the reaction as well as document the process for viewers. People need to see the hard work that goes into the wall covering this great company produces especially a pattern recreation.
that paper is absolutely stunning with the wood. the way the carved rosette is repeated in the paper is amazing.
Glad to see you back, greatly appreciate seeing you digging into history, finding about the past of the place and trying to restore the chateau to its original stage. You do it well, also appreciate your shots in the nature, the beautiful nature surrounding the place. You are good storyteller. Kipp it up Michael. You are a person of many talents xoxo
The history of the chateau is so interesting and told with passion. Fingers crossed the beautiful design can be replicated 🤞
Omg, the wall covering is absolutely gorgeous. I feel sure the pattern will be reproduced and eventually placed back in the dining room where it belongs. Cleaning the piece brought out its beauty. The history of how it was produced was amazing. I am hopeful it will be reproduced. It would be smart for the manufacturer to recreate the pattern and use it in their advertising. Well done Michael. Loved this segment.
Michael, I am so excited that you found this treasure right there in the chateau! You can just see the joy and excitement this brings you. You are absolutely a natural, appearing and speaking on the videos of the chateau, and teaching us the history that surrounds it. As I was watching the video and listening to you, I thought how wonderful it would be for you to deliver the covering to Lincrusta and ask them to take you through the process of making it. And video it, of course, so you could share it with us. My dream has always been to restore a chateau or an old Victorian home and learn the history behind it. You are living my dream and I appreciate it so much, as I can live it through you! Please keep doing this as you are fabulous at it. Thank you so much!
I am a long term Chateau Diaries fan, and I think this channel is the second helping of history behind it that we all wanted so badly.
The flowers with barriers look like hops flowers. There are tendrils in the embossing, too, so that would make sense!
Michael...you are an amazing storyteller and videographer...you have such a gift and am so enjoying this journey with you....thank you! This chateau is so full of history and treasures...
You are talented, multi skilled and have the ability to engage people when you feel passionate about a subject.
Michael, I just received the prints I ordered and will cherish them forever. Thank you so much. Love from USA and my English relatives. ❤️😇
So much respect for you and all of the hard work you've done to honor the beautiful estate you've purchased. 💛
Growing up as a child 1951 when born, our family home had Lincruster in the hall, half way up the wall and up the staircase and it was patterned as small panelling painted white, with black and white tiles on hall floor it looked really grand. This vlog Michael is wonderful and I am so delighted that you are back with us all again. Thankyou.
You wrote exactly what I also remembered from that time. Now as an 80 year old I recall not only the name, but also that there were cheaper copies of the wall covering, and as you say hallways and staircases were their favourite locale.
My Grandmother had Lincrusta or anaglypta wall covering going up her staircase at her home in London.
Probably THE most stunning wall covering I've ever seen, especially when you cleaned it up, the side by side was amazing! I'd be scared to death to mail those anywhere, I'd seriously think about hand delivering them, or like a previous poster said, the packing simply must be the best. Can't wait for more info on this project!
I be driving back to England and hand delivering it too .
ABSOLUTELY, I WOULD NOT SEND THIS IN THE MAIL, EVER’EVER!!!! You must be joking this is to be deliver personally !
If you can make this happen, this room will be breathtaking. You and your family are a blessing to his lovely home.
learning that this isnt actually leather was such a delightful plot twist - linoleum is such a marvellous material and it's genuinely so frustrating how the plastics industry made a home in the name so effectively that most people don't even know the original stuff was plantbased. knowing there were other similar materials too is SO cool!
What a beautiful wall covering with an amazing story to go along with it. I really hope that the company can find some way to make it affordable enough for you to redo the walls. It would be stunning.
If you would’ve put a close-up photo of that flower on Instagram or somewhere, it might be easier to identify it. I have a couple of ideas. Also, if you have any of that material, that’s still usable, it would make an amazing top for a console table or dresser
What a massive discovery for this beautiful building! Great find Michael!! I have to say you really are on a Time Team adventure ❤❤❤
That's just so cool, Michael. Your passion to restore is beyond words. This was great to watch. Hope it's possible and not to pricey to complete.
How exciting that you can replace the salon's original wallcoverings. If Lincrusta-Walton does start making it and they put the pattern in their catalog, they should not charge you for the engraving of the cylinder since they will be making a profit. You have added to the value of their company.
Hi Michael, This was very interesting because when I bought my house 30 years ago I installed a Lincrusta border under the crown molding. It is quite beautiful and I hope this works out for You! Cheers, Tom
Such fun to follow you all ... Billy, Stephanie, Ryan and Shane ... and You!
Very well done Michael! Your enthusiasm is so great to see. I love the thought of returning what was once original…thank you.
This history of the wall covering was so fascinating. Thank you, Michael. ❤
This is so amazing I was nearly in tears. Good work, Michael!
Me too!
Michael, what an incredible historic researcher you are. I truly hope that the manufacturer can recreate that pattern for you, and hopefully won't break the bank. I really do love the red wall covering next to the original piece that you cleaned and are sending out. Best of luck to you, and excited to find out the results.
This is absolutely amazing, Michael! What a discovery, and after all the years your family has already spent as owners of the chateau. Your enthusiasm is infectious, finding this historic product and the fact that the original makers of it still exist is nothing short of a miracle. Incredible, just incredible to know that you will be able to restore this to the dining room. I expect Lincrusta can use the recreated pattern to add into their current product catalog. It would take nothing away from your history and should well offset the cost for you as it wouldn't be a one off effort on their part. All very exciting. Good luck!
Michael this is such exciting news. I would imagine the company would want to make the rollers at their expense so that they can use them not just for your chateau. They can re-introduce a lost historic pattern and it could be a huge market for their company. I would also consider using some of the new wall covering in one of the bedrooms on headboard and dresser. Also possibly a cutaway section to make a border / molding in the same bedroom. Of course you could do the bedroom in a totally different color scheme then the formal room on the main level.
It's cool that years later you've found original wall decor! Hoping you can get it sorted and reinstall it.
This is what you do best! This was very reminiscent of your early CZcams days that brought us viewers so much joy to watch! One of my favorites thus far!❤
Michael, what a fantastic discovery you've made and a wonderful presentation. I love the history of wallcoverings. For you to discover the original dining room wallcovering, as you said you thought was lost to history, is a giant step to bringing the dining room to its former glory. I loved the fact that you really went looking for the manufacturer and found them still in business. I believe you are meant to apply your talents to restoring the interior of the chateau to its original glory. I love your enthusiasm as portrayed through this video. Your cameraman did an excellent job. I think he's a keeper, too. It's probably one of your best videos. BTW, still waiting to see your finished cottage. ❤️❤️
I’d love to see this pattern outside in the light…. It looks so beautiful.
Yes please bring it into the light 😊
Ha! Michael! It's phantastic to see you so excited all over the video! I can really feel this. I wanted to make a landing base with lincrusta and it was about 1000 Euro for 2.5 meters or so. I would be scared to death to cut it. So I chose a cheaper version first.
I don't want to bring you down, but when I learned that Adrian & Carol would have paid, what was it? 17.000 Euro for reproducing just a - in relation - quite simple wallpaper I assume the Licrusta will cost a fortune. But I keep my fingers crossed. It's a work of art. Sebsational. Meanwhile I am one of the biggest Titanic fans and it seems you too. Everything you said is totally right. Great video for me. Thanks a lot! Great to see you motivated and excited again. 💪🤗🙋♂️
Michael, I’m so tickled and this brought tears to my eyes to have found such a stunning original wall covering that was designed to compliment the architecture of the grand room! Your family must be thrilled at this discovery. I understand when people buy a home they want to put their own stamp on it, but in these grand historical chateau’s the main rooms should retain as much of their original features as possible. You have such a talent for art, history, creating and storytelling. This video could have gone on for three hours and I would have enjoyed every second of listening to you talk. Thank you for sharing this wonderful discovery. It made my day!!! xx
Oh my Michael you have quite the treasure there! It would be amazing if they’re able to get this re-created for you guys and made available to mass market. Maybe they can name it after your château. And that flower on the tapestry kinda looks like a thistle.
So great! Hopefully the cost isn't prohibitive to put it back. Side note - it would be great to have another tour of the remaining un-renovated rooms in the chateau.
Would love to see you follow the reproduction of this from start to finish. Really enjoyed watching history come alive here.
Hello Michael. Talking about the Titanic. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, It is the home of the Graves of the people who drowned on the Titanic. The graves are visited by thousands of people from all over the world. The cemetery is lovely and so well taken care of It is a fascinating story and we are all so proud to have this graveyard within our city. We also have a museum with many artifacts from the ship.
This is amazing I am sitting here crying because you found a piece of wall covering. This is one of your best videos! Thank you Micheal! A restoration specialist could actually restore that so it could be framed for future ppl to see.
… wow it looks incredible cleaned up! This is so exciting!
What a wonderful story. Billy, Michael their Dad and friends are very talented. I admire all of their work and enjoy seeing them handle the challenges of chateau life.
Amazing discovery, brilliant research and let’s hope it can be successfully reproduced. It will be a major feature in the Chateau.
I’m loving the new vlogs they are interesting and informative and I love seeing more of the chateau and hearing it’s history and now you have discovered something really wonderful and authentic it’s amazing. Well done hun 😊
Well done video guys! Look at the impact Michael is making bringing this piece of history into the present for our future. Mick and Sherry must be proud of their sweet talented kids.
How very interesting! I enjoy your passion for knowledge and history. I would hope Lincrusta would have the design specifications archived? After you gently cleaned the paper it truly was stunning.
I always love when you blend history and art/craftsmanship in your vlogs. Perfection! I wait to see all about this project.
Nothing gladdens the heart like restoration. This episode was truly thrilling - I was on the edge of my seat! I earnestly hope the Lincrusta wall covering can be reproduced and restored to the walls. Bravo!
Wow wow wow, maybe one of the most exciting videos yet!
I am truly blown away. What an amazing find, it is gorgeous. Hopefully you can save and restore an original piece to frame elsewhere .❤
Maybe get Anna from How to renovate a chateau to help you or get some ideas. She makes her own wallpaper by hand. This was an awesome video. Thank you!
Also my first thougt!
Loved hearing of the amazing discovery of the Lincrusta-Walton wall covering. It seems like a story the V&A would be interested in.
Wow! What a find. It is absolutely gorgeous! Hope it will be affordable to do in the dining room. You do have a knack for telling the history on things. Loved hearing about it.
Your narrating and storytelling are so great. I saw such wallpapers once in a mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. The effect was spectacular. I hope you can recreate this product.
An absolutely wonderful episode! So interesting about the wall covering. I hope it can be recreated for the chateau dining room. Michael, I love watching your vlogs. You produce them so beautifully. I always look forward to watching them. I would also like to see what happens to the tunnels. Keep up the great videos you do. 👍
Loved every second of this, Michael. Could listen to you all day! That wall covering is stunning. Here’s hoping…..and thanks to Florian for filming so well! Love to you ❤
Michael the old wall covering is absolutely stunning!!! I hope the manufacturer will be able to recreate the original design. Hugs, Kathy USA 🇺🇸
I cried thru the majority of this! How fabulous that you’ve saved this gorgeous wall covering. My grandmother’s house had some wallcovering that was embossed very similarly. All her children hated it and it was ripped out in the 50’s. But I got some of it for my playhouse. It was so nice to have a memory of my grandmother and seeing someone else appreciated her special taste. Surely a laser can reproduce this. Thanks, Michael. 🥰
PS I really enjoy crying while your talking so could we do it again very soon😉🤭
You cried? Seriously?
@@jrgnc1 As odd as it may seem to some, many people are touched and moved by the restoration of items that were once thought completely lost. It's usually people who have been educated or are invested in this type of artisan renewal. I've seen grown men completely bawl when they have received their restored 65' Mustang or 64' Corvette. It all depends on how much you love an artform.
There’s nothing wrong with a few tears. As Walt Disney used to say « For every smile, there needs to be a tear »
How incredibly exciting! It’s gorgeous, what a find. Thanks for the history lesson on how it was made. You’re so lucky to live in a area of the world so steeped in such history. It’s very rare here in the states to find any such manufacturing of any kind beyond 50 years…
What an exciting discovery! The fact the company is still in business is remarkable! Love all your videos and anything you choose to share.
I am in love with that old organic wallpaper.. The pattern is exquisite..
