Doc Henry Posted January 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Few days ago i am looking for a wardrobe I went to the antique shop with my M8 and Lux 50 to take some pictures. so i can appreciate at home before i buy it. The wardrobe in this picture date from 1830 and it's an authentic "Louis Philippe"wardrobe style (1830-1848). Sculpture is all hand made.The wood is from wild cherry tree (brown and a little rose color) Do you like this style? Thanks for looking (photo without flash) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenor1 Posted January 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 7, 2009 The wood color is beautiful and the scrolls are a very nice quality. It would be lovely at home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2009 Henri - I agree with Carlos. I think this would be even better if the camera were on a tripod with smaller aperture to bring more into focus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted January 7, 2009 Henri -I agree with Carlos. I think this would be even better if the camera were on a tripod with smaller aperture to bring more into focus. Thank you Stuart for your comment Yes i will try next time with a tripod (but i don't know if the seller will agree) i have not enough light and i don't bring my tripod with me that time So i open at 1,4 or 2 (i don't remember) This book-stand also Louis Philippe is more simple (may be a little "less" luminous) Thank you Tenor for looking and comments Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin T-M Posted January 9, 2009 Share #10 Posted January 9, 2009 Henri, yes we have and we know very well the Louis-Phillipe (my favourite). We also have the "style mosan": very, very expensive (but beautiful)! (At least 10.000 euros for a commodus) . Same price for a new copy!
