The Blacksmith Posted June 1 Report Posted June 1 John said that one of the owners made him feel extremely uneasy around him. It is an absolutely beautiful collection though. 1 Quote

The Blacksmith Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 Unfortunately not, it would have been interesting if it had been! Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 Same here, so, one of the owners of what... one of the armours, or of Chiddingstone itself? Quote
Majus Posted June 18 Author Report Posted June 18 I had the opportunity to look at several exhibits, up close Quote

Brian Posted June 18 Report Posted June 18 Was watching old episodes of Antiques Roadshow from a few years back, and someone brought in the most gorgeous snake jizai okimono. So well done, the expert commented on how it felt alive. Was sighned, Nobu something. Anyways, it was one of the top works from my humble opinion. I had a good chuckle when the expert commented on how good it was, and then said it has an auction estimate of between GBP1200 and 1500. Lol. Imagine you could pick them up for that price. Even 5-8 years ago. 2 Quote

Majus Posted June 18 Author Report Posted June 18 And in september I'm going to V&A (in my opinion the best museum in London). Blue gloves, 1 dragon and 1 snake. Today I looked closely at a lobster, a work of art. I'll never reach such a level. I liked the dragon the most. It seems to be within my reach in a few years 2 Quote
