So much appreciate your posting these particular conservation efforts on such a beautiful piece of art. It is both fascinating and satisfying to know that there are people with such skill and ability to preserve the beauty in our lives.
a piece of wood on a metal stick left out in the rain and snow...how was this ever a good idea? Were they copying the Versaille statues? Anyway great work from the restoration team.
Gay didn't necessarily come from gaiety, both words come from Old French. They are, of course, related, but in English at least, neither evolved from the other.
"Urgent structural work was required to prevent eventual collapse ". I feel you, Angel. I feel you.
I would look at the “before” condition, and cry. Rotten wood. Corrosion. They pulled off a miracle restoration and it’s so beautiful.
Sure you don’t remember me Zoe, but we went to school together in France for a couple of years. Glad to see you doing beautiful things. All the best.
Hi
It's not often you see a piece of art history cut in half.
You would be amazed how often they have to
It would have been along the origional join lines.

Might have been a power move from a previous owner.
"Priceless piece of art? Pah, I get a handful of those every Christmas, so what."
It was a good idea because it was never meant to last.
The used to attach similar things the the front of wooden ships.
What an amazing restauration, thank you so much for sharing your work. Greetings from Portugal
So beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye.
Beautiful work!
Holy crap, that was beautiful. I would like to have that job. :o
How can I get a job/career in conservation?
what is up with those owl noises in the background? I thought I had left a window open somewhere.
Interesting posting, but why muddy the voice track by overlaying echo effects and superfluous music?
Very cool. Thank you.
Ever since seeing Dr. Who, angel statues creep me out.
Is gaiety where the term gay (as in the old meaning happy) came from

Gaiety is the noun form of the verb ~to be gay

very cool.
I can't seem to find the music title anywhere, and it's deeply frustrating me.
Beautiful
Why is the personification of gaiety so completely dispassionate?
