I usually work from straight-on front or side views, but all I had this time were perspective views from the 1stdibs.com web site. So I started the model with Photo Match. I'm actually surprised that it worked.

Elegant in their simplicity Bravo

Wonderful ! Excellent job on the texture.

Always good to hear from you, tuna.Thanks.

Thank you, sir.

Thanks, everyone. I agree that the piece is a little unsettling, and that it's more like a canvas than a piece of furniture. Interesting nonetheless. I can see it at home in a large European salon, surrounded by swags of damask curtains and lots of gilded and overstuffed furniture.

Conceptual before comfortable!

Thanks, everyone.

Great job David, and a very interesting piece. It always astounds me to see the quality and craftsmanship of pre-industrial pieces like this. But maybe one advantage that the craftsmen had in that era — at least those lucky enough to have the support of a patron, like the Emperor — is that they could take the time necessary to produce such work, without having to worry about whether they could still afford food and rent.

Many thanks, gentlemen.

Thanks again.

Nice work, Dave! Be good to see the mesh and how you did it...

I don't know, Frenchy. Dave Richards apparently has never met a plugin he didn't like.

Thanks for the good words, everyone. Here's a stack of mugs. Best, dh [image: rHOb_hellermugbyvignellicopy.png]

Thanks, Dave. Ditto your model of the Gimson Chest. dh

Not sure when I'll make it to Boston, so keep the beer on ice, jtri. Thanks to all for the good words. Best, dh
