[ Leicester ] - Hilda spotted a familiar face above the parapet of the other partygoers and hastened her way to its owner.
"Baltie!" she trilled. "They're about to play a song from--- what are you wearing? Did you make your shirt?" With an eye for both detail and fashion, the handcraftsmanship had not gone unnoticed. She studied it for a moment before shaking her head. Not now! "Never mind, there's time for that later. They're about to play a song from home! You must know this one, right?"
She tucked a black feather into the brooch displayed on his lapel before dragging him to the dance floor. For a girl a foot-and-a-half smaller than him, she sure could muster a surprising display of strength when she wanted to.
“Oh, this? Bernie made it for me. It rocks, I know. Shows off the puppies while keeping it refined & modest.” He did a once over of… His own body. Real humble. But luckily for Hilda, she cut off his ego-stroking long before it got out of control. In a flash, Balthus found himself tailing his old friend, his ears listening for a familiar tune. 
And while the song was great and all–brought back memories both sour and sweet of his noble days–he frowned. He wasn’t as happy as Hilda might’ve expected him to be, or at all, really. Not when they reached the dance floor, not when he received the feather, not even when chocolate pearls met the gaze of that pair of strawberries. 
Because there was something heavy on his mind. And it wasn’t her. 
“Look, Hilda–” he raised his free hand in protest, digging through his outfit to produce a bell to bribe her with, “I know you like dancing and all, so I won’t put a stop to this,” He swallowed hard. The intro to the Leicster number was coming to a close; soon dancers would whirl about the floor as the first verse kicked in. He had all of fifteen seconds to spit it out. 
“But promise me you won’t tell Holst you’re letting people prance around with you tonight. He’ll do unspeakable things to me if he finds out I didn’t break the arms of anyone who tried.” 
To sweeten the deal, he fixed his ornament to her brooch. An overwhelming burden of fear lifted from his shoulders as he did.

This week's #MosaicMonday falls on #AppreciateADragonDay so here is maybe the coolest of the 8 Tiffany dragonfly lamp designs attributed to Clara Driscoll:
Lamp with “Hanging Head Dragonfly” Shade and “Mosaic and Turtleback” Base By 1906 Tiffany Studios (New York, 1902-1932) Design attributed to Clara Pierce Wolcott Driscoll (American, 1861–1944) Favrile glass & bronze, 86.4 × 57.2 cm [Art Institute Chicago]
"In the 1890s Louis Comfort Tiffany began using his opalescent Favrile glass to produce lamps, the decorative form for which he would become most famous. As the artistic director of Tiffany Studios located in Corona, New York, he approved all patterns but created relatively few lamps himself. Clara Driscoll, head of the Women’s Glass Cutting Department, was likely responsible for this shade and base. Driscoll began working for Tiffany in 1888, and she designed the majority of the firm’s lamps before she left the company in 1908-9. Driscoll created at least eight dragonfly shades. This example is distinguished by its large size, glass cabochons, and the placement of insects’ bodies along the lower edge. While Tiffany Studios mass-produced these shades and bases, the firm varied the color scheme of each object to heighten the sense of handcraftsmanship. This daring design became one of Tiffany’s most popular and was made through 1924."

オリジナルチェア 001 [Arc-Line chair] 設計_アシタカ建築設計室 製作_タンペレ
繊細な曲面とミニマルな直線フレームにより 凜とした空気を纏ったアームチェア。 普遍的で飽きのこない美しさと、幅広い設えの空間に馴染む 端正で中庸な佇まいを目指した。
線と面、直と曲 この椅子は、二種類の部材によって構成されている。 「全体のフレームを構成する線材」と「座る人の身体に触れる面材」。 広葉樹を用いたシャープなプロポーションの直線材が キリッとした陰影を纏い、曲面は美しいグラデーションを映し出す。全体を直線的でシンプルな部材構成として制作コストを抑えつつ、静的なアウトラインとすることで、対照的に繊細な弧線が際立つ構成としている。
柔と剛 緩やかな弧を描く柔らかい印象の座面。 支える桁をフレームからインセットさせることで存在感を無くし、座面がフレームの秩序から脱して浮いているような軽やかさを持たせた。 背もたれには、断面の大きい部材を用いて曲面を削り出し、フレームにかっちりと嵌合する納まりによって量塊感、重厚さを持たせている。
それぞれのエレメントによるコントラストが、普遍的で飽きのこない美しさを引き立てる。
住宅はもちろん、料亭のカウンターや教会、美術館など、さまざまなシーン、設えにおいて、控えめながらも確かな存在感を発揮し、空間を引き締めるアクセントとなる。

A one-seater armchair with a straightforward frame that emphasizes softness. By adopting a linear and simple component structure, we aimed to reduce product cost and create a moderate appearance that fits in with a wide range of interior settings.
The hardwood used for the material has sharp linear proportions throughout, while the contrasting curves of the backrest and seat emphasizes the softness of the seating comfort and the traces of handcraftsmanship. The seat, which gives the impression of floating and light, and the backrest, which is tightly packed and gives the impression of solid wood mass, each element creates a contrast that will never grow boring.
In addition, the tops and backs of the backrests are designed to be aligned when placed in a row to create a beautiful and well-ordered appearance as a group, when used as restaurant counters, in churches, meeting halls, and so on.

Antique Rocking Chairs 1900s: The Timeless Charm of Craftsmanship
Rocking chairs offer a unique combination of history, craftsmanship, and comfort that resonates with collectors, antique lovers, and those looking to add vintage charm to their homes. These pieces of furniture, once a staple in many households, have evolved over the decades to become prized collectibles. The early 20th century was a time of transformation in furniture design, and antique rocking chairs 1900s were no exception. They reflect both the industrial advancements of the period and the artistry of handcraftsmanship, making them timeless treasures.
Tumblr media
A Glimpse into History
The 1900s were a pivotal time for furniture design, influenced by industrial manufacturing and the Arts and Crafts movement. Rocking chairs from this period blend traditional craftsmanship with innovative design. Popular in urban and rural settings, they were staples in living rooms, porches, and nurseries, offering a soothing and comforting rocking motion. The rise of industrialization made furniture more accessible, while the Arts and Crafts movement promoted handmade, quality pieces. Many rocking chairs from this era reflect these ideals with intricate joinery and natural wood finishes.
Design Evolution in the Early 1900s
In the early 1900s, design styles for rocking chairs evolved significantly. The Arts and Crafts movement emphasized simplicity and craftsmanship, with chairs featuring clean lines, exposed wood, and minimal decoration, highlighting the natural beauty of the materials. In contrast, Victorian-inspired rocking chairs remained ornate, with intricate carvings and plush upholstery, often suited for more formal spaces. This shift from simple elegance to decorative luxury reflects the diverse tastes of the time.
Collecting Rocking Chairs 
For collectors, these chairs represent both an investment and an opportunity to own a piece of history. With their rich woodwork and detailed craftsmanship, they are often passed down from one generation to the next, making them valuable family heirlooms. Collecting these chairs can be an enriching experience, as each one tells a story about the craftsmanship and cultural trends of its time.
When purchasing an antique rocking chair, looking for signs of quality craftsmanship is essential. Check for strong, sturdy joints, smooth finishes, and even proportions. While wear and tear can add character, excessive damage or repairs may detract from the chair’s value. Additionally, it’s important to verify the authenticity of the piece. These chairs in the 1900s often had distinctive features such as hand-turned spindles, carved elements, and old-fashioned joinery techniques, which set them apart from mass-produced furniture.
Conclusion
Antique rocking chairs from the 1900s are more than just furniture; they are tangible connections to the past, embodying the artistry, craftsmanship, and cultural influences of their era. Whether sought after by collectors, enthusiasts, or those looking to add a piece of history to their home, these chairs continue to captivate with their beauty and comfort. With their timeless design and intricate craftsmanship, they remain cherished heirlooms that bring warmth and character to any space. For those interested in acquiring these remarkable pieces, platforms like Bidsquare offer a curated selection through furniture auctions online, connecting buyers with quality antiques that stand the test of time.
 (FAQs)
1. How do I know if my rocking chair is from the 1900s?
Look for signs of craftsmanship that were common during this period, such as hand-turned spindles, detailed wood carvings, and traditional joinery. Many 1900s rocking chairs also feature sturdy, natural wood like oak, walnut, or maple. If the chair has a manufacturer’s label, that can also help identify its age.
2. What is the value of an antique rocking chair from the 1900s?
The value depends on factors like the condition, craftsmanship, material, and brand. Chairs from well-known manufacturers like Stickley or the early Sears and Roebuck catalogs tend to be more valuable. Additionally, chairs that are in excellent condition or have original features will generally command higher prices.
3. Where can I buy antique rocking chairs?
These chairs can be found at furniture auctions online, in antique stores, in estate sales, and in specialized marketplaces. Bidsquare, for instance, provides a platform where you can find curated selections of vintage and antique rocking chairs, making it easier to discover and acquire these historical pieces.

Rolls-Royce is a name that epitomizes luxury, refinement, and craftsmanship in the world of automobiles. Known for its iconic cars, Rolls-Royce has been a symbol of aristocracy and exclusivity for over a century. The British automaker is recognized for producing some of the world’s most opulent, meticulously crafted vehicles, offering the highest standards of engineering, performance, and comfort.
History and Origins
The history of Rolls-Royce began in 1904, when Charles Rolls and Sir Henry Royce formed a partnership to create cars that were both technically advanced and luxurious. Sir Henry Royce, an engineer, had already built a reputation for producing high-quality engines and components, while Charles Rolls was a wealthy automobile dealer and aviator. Their collaboration led to the creation of the Rolls-Royce brand, which quickly became known for its excellence in engineering and uncompromising quality.
The first Rolls-Royce car, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp, was introduced in 1904. The company’s reputation for luxury and engineering was solidified in 1906 with the launch of the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, a car that was praised for its smooth performance and durability. The Silver Ghost was so exceptional that it earned the title of “The Best Car in the World,” a distinction that became central to the Rolls-Royce brand.
Rolls-Royce Brand Values
Rolls-Royce’s reputation is built on several core values:
Craftsmanship: Rolls-Royce vehicles are known for their meticulous attention to detail and handcraftsmanship. Each car is a work of art, with luxurious materials such as hand-stitched leather, polished wood veneers, and real metal trim.
Engineering Excellence: The brand is synonymous with cutting-edge technology and precision engineering. Rolls-Royce has long been known for building engines that are powerful yet smooth, offering a driving experience that is both thrilling and serene.
Timeless Elegance: Rolls-Royce designs emphasize classic lines, graceful proportions, and understated luxury. The cars are built to remain timeless in style, avoiding trends and instead favoring ageless sophistication.
Exclusivity: Owning a Rolls-Royce is often associated with status and distinction. Rolls-Royce offers a level of customization that is unparalleled, ensuring that each car is uniquely tailored to the owner’s tastes.
Signature Features of Rolls-Royce Cars
The Spirit of Ecstasy: One of the most recognizable features of every Rolls-Royce is the Spirit of Ecstasy, the elegant mascot mounted on the hood of every Rolls-Royce car. This figure, which depicts a woman with flowing robes and outstretched arms, symbolizes grace, beauty, and speed.
The Parthenon Grille: The Rolls-Royce grille, often referred to as the “Parthenon grille,” is a signature element of the car's design. It is a large, upright grille with vertical slats, lending the car an imposing, regal presence.
Starlight Headliner: One of the most luxurious features available in modern Rolls-Royce cars is the Starlight Headliner, which involves thousands of tiny fiber optic lights embedded in the ceiling to simulate the effect of a starry night sky. It is a feature that adds a magical touch to the interior.
Handcrafted Interiors: The interior of a Rolls-Royce is a realm of luxury. Each vehicle is painstakingly crafted by skilled artisans, with bespoke leather upholstery, finely polished wood, and hand-stitched details. The level of personalization is so high that no two Rolls-Royce interiors are exactly the same.
Silent Ride: Rolls-Royce vehicles are designed to be incredibly quiet, offering a whisper-quiet ride. The attention to reducing road noise and vibration, using advanced engineering techniques, ensures that occupants enjoy a serene and peaceful driving experience.
Performance and Engineering
Although Rolls-Royce is best known for luxury, the brand also offers exceptional performance. The company’s cars are equipped with powerful engines and advanced suspension systems that provide not only a smooth ride but also impressive power when needed.
V12 Engines: Most Rolls-Royce vehicles are powered by large, refined V12 engines, delivering smooth and powerful acceleration. These engines are designed to provide ample power while remaining incredibly quiet and refined, ensuring that the car’s performance matches its luxurious character.
Adaptive Suspension: Rolls-Royce’s suspension systems are fine-tuned for ultimate comfort. The brand uses air suspension to ensure that the ride is consistently smooth, regardless of road conditions.
Advanced Technology: Rolls-Royce also integrates modern technology into its cars, including advanced infotainment systems, adaptive cruise control, and driver assistance features, while still maintaining the car’s traditional emphasis on comfort and elegance.
Notable Rolls-Royce Models
Over the years, Rolls-Royce has created some of the most iconic cars in the world. Some of the most famous and popular Rolls-Royce models include:
Rolls-Royce Phantom – The epitome of luxury, the Phantom is a full-sized sedan that combines regal styling with unparalleled refinement. It features a 6.75-liter V12 engine and is known for its whisper-quiet ride and ultra-luxurious interior. The Phantom is often considered the flagship model of Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce Ghost – A slightly more understated but equally luxurious model, the Ghost is a smaller, more driver-focused sedan, designed to offer exceptional performance while maintaining Rolls-Royce’s signature comfort and luxury. It combines classic Rolls-Royce luxury with modern technology and performance.
Rolls-Royce Wraith – The Wraith is a grand coupe that offers a more dynamic driving experience. It features a 6.6-liter V12 engine, delivering performance alongside comfort and style. The Wraith also boasts a more sporty and sleek design compared to Rolls-Royce’s other models.
Rolls-Royce Dawn – A convertible that combines the grace of Rolls-Royce design with the thrill of open-air driving, the Dawn features a V12 engine and is known for its smooth ride and luxurious features. Its soft-top roof opens and closes at the push of a button, maintaining the car’s elegance even when driving with the roof down.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan – The Cullinan is Rolls-Royce’s first-ever luxury SUV, launched in 2018. It combines the brand’s signature luxury and performance with the versatility and capability of an SUV. It features a 6.75-liter V12 engine and is designed to offer a refined driving experience both on and off the road.
Rolls-Royce Bespoke Customization
One of the defining features of Rolls-Royce is the bespoke service, which allows buyers to customize almost every aspect of their vehicle. Rolls-Royce offers an extensive range of materials, colors, and finishes, from unique paint colors to handcrafted interiors. The company works closely with customers to create a one-of-a-kind car that reflects their personal tastes and preferences.
The Bespoke Program includes:
Custom paint finishes (including two-tone options and special colors).
Handcrafted wood veneers and other interior materials like mother-of-pearl or precious metals.
Personal engravings and embroidered details on seats and floor mats.
Unique, personalized features such as custom starlight headliners, personalized treadplates, or even custom luggage sets designed to fit the car.
Rolls-Royce Today
Today, Rolls-Royce remains one of the most prestigious luxury car brands in the world. It continues to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, maintaining its reputation for producing the finest automobiles. Rolls-Royce is now owned by the German automobile manufacturer BMW, which acquired the brand in 1998, but the cars are still made in the UK, with production taking place in Goodwood, West Sussex.
Rolls-Royce also manufactures aircraft engines through a separate division, Rolls-Royce Aeroengines, which is a leading supplier of engines for commercial and military aircraft.
Conclusion
Rolls-Royce is the epitome of luxury, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. Whether you’re driving a Phantom, a Ghost, or a Cullinan, Rolls-Royce offers an unparalleled experience in terms of comfort, performance, and prestige. With over a century of history, Rolls-Royce remains the ultimate symbol of automotive excellence and luxury.

Crafting a Siamese Rosewood Backrest Chair from Aged Lumber
In the realm of traditional furniture making, Siamese Rosewood, known for its durability and vibrant hue, stands out. Today, we explore the process of creating a backrest chair using this prized aged lumber through traditional craftsmanship methods.
Material Selection: Aged Siamese Rosewood Lumber
The Value of Siamese Rosewood Siamese Rosewood, scientifically named Dalbergia cochinchinensis, is a hardwood recognized for its density and attractive grain. It is not only rich in color but also highly resistant to decay, making it an excellent material for crafting high-quality furniture. Aged lumber, further, has been seasoned over time, offering stability and resistance to deformation.
Crafting Process: Upholding Traditional Techniques
Leg Stock and Mortise and Tenon Joints The first step in crafting a backrest chair involves preparing the leg stock. Each leg must be a continuous piece from top to bottom to ensure the chair's stability and load-bearing strength. We then employ traditional mortise and tenon joints, a method of joining wood without nails or adhesives. The precision fit of the mortise and tenon ensures a solid bond between the components.
Assembling the Backrest Chair Frame With the leg stock ready, we proceed to construct the chair's frame. The backrest chair is distinguished by its comb-like backrest, which demands meticulous woodworking skills to ensure each "tooth" is uniform and secure. The backrest is connected to the legs using mortise and tenon joints, reinforcing the overall structure's sturdiness.
Surface Treatment with Transparent Lacquer The chair's surface treatment is a critical phase in the crafting process. We apply raw lacquer, a natural and eco-friendly finish that penetrates the wood's surface, enhancing its longevity while preserving the wood's natural texture and color. The lacquer's transparency allows the wood's aesthetic appeal to shine through, also providing an additional protective layer to the chair.
Epilogue: The Timeless Relevance of Handcraftsmanship
The making of a Siamese Rosewood backrest chair from aged lumber is a profound homage to the art of handcrafting. Each step, from selecting the wood to the precise fitting of mortise and tenon joints, to the careful application of lacquer, reflects a deep mastery of the craft. These chairs are not just furniture; they are vessels of the handcrafting spirit, a bridge between tradition and modernity. In each piece, we perceive the warmth and vitality of handcrafted work, a humanistic value that machines cannot replicate.

Rug Manufacturers in India: Legacy of Handcraftsmanship and Global Excellence
The country has a history of hundreds of years in rug making. This is the prime reason for India's strong reputation in the global market for handcrafted rugs, particularly for intricate designs, skillful artisans, and superior quality materials. This has been achieved with the support of rug manufacturers in India, who combined traditional handmade rugs craftsmanship with modern techniques to offer an extensive range of designs and styles for consumers worldwide. From the heritage-rich regions of Jaipur, Varanasi, and Bhadohi to the modern production hubs, Indian rug manufacturers are always dominating the world market.
Being a Traditionally Known Craftsmanship
Such a tradition has been found in rug making back to the era of the Mughals when the art of Persian weavers reached the Indian subcontinent. Hand-knotting and weaving was so valuable that it often saw Persia influences, Indian flora and fauna, and geometric patterns dominating it. Such passing of time eventually gave rise to something new from this old craft-ways, techniques, and motifs on the part of Indian artisans, elevating India to the topmost position on the global scale of rug industry.
Thousands of weavers there work on orders for the traditionally produced designs as well as on modern designs. Sometimes, at even the local level, highly skilled artisans can pinpoint knowledge tracing back several generations, where their heritage and legacy of Indian rug craftsmanship are passed down.
Types of rugs manufactured in India
Indian rug manufacturers produce a vast range of rugs; the varieties differ to meet the requirements of various markets of the world. Some of the most popular ones include:
Hand-knotted rugs: These rugs have long lifespans and bear intricate designs. Knots are tied one by one; the more the knot count, the more detailing and superior quality a product will represent. Indian hand-knotted rugs are specifically adored because of their fine details in patterns, which often contain floral and geometric designs.
Hand-tufted rugs is another variant, which, although the production procedure is alike hand-knotted rugs, where the loops of yarn pushed through a backing material, the production process is much faster. This does not mean that the level of craftsmanship is compromised.
Flat-weave rugs: These light-weighted reversible rugs make Dhurries and Kilims out of mats for modern homes. These rugs are made without knots, hence flat and smooth in texture.
Wool and Silk rugs: There are raw materials such as wool, silk, and cotton used when making rugs in India. Wool offers a lot of versatility and can thus be very soft and durable. Silk is more luxurious rug designs, giving them shine value. The best rugs would combine both to bring the best of both worlds on surface and texture.
Apart from their traditional designs, Indian rug manufacturers have been up to the challenge of producing modern designs. These rugs are characterized by bold colors, abstract patterns, and minimalist designs, which appeal to modern tastes and global interior design trends.
India's Rug Manufacturers
Indian manufacturers of rugs are really important in the preservation of traditional techniques for their adaptation with an innovation response to the demands of international markets. Manufacturers work closely with quality artisans for the creation of rugs that maintain authenticity related to Indian craftsmanship while reflecting modern aesthetics and trends. This responsibility for the highest quality standards-from sourcing premium materials through overseeing the process involved in making these rugs-sits on the manufacturer's laps.
Source of natural raw materials: Natural material is usually associated with Indian rugs. Wool, silk, and cotton are some of the most used natural material sources. More importantly, it implies high-class material and care in selection, which adds longivity to these expensive rugs. Indeed, wool adds softness and resilience. Silk adds that elegance and sheen to the design.
Supporting the Artisan Communities Rugs made in India are typically sourced from artisan communities in villages, thus employing these communities and strengthening the local economy. By doing so, manufacturers are aiding the perpetuation of the traditional craft through good wages that are offered and a culture evolved to support craftsmanship to remain strengthened. Most manufacturers also have social enterprise initiatives focused on education, health care, and skill development among the artisans and their family members.
Export to Global Market India is a country that exports handwoven rugs as Indian manufacturers are supplying rugs to the world. Some major markets for the rugs exported from India include the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Apart from producing quality products, manufacturers make sure the rugs tally with the different design requirements of international customers.
Sustainability and Ethical Practice
In recent years, sustainability and responsible practices have seen more attention in the rug industry. Indian rug manufacturers are now adopting green methods and materials to meet the conscious consumer's demands. The use of natural dyes, sustainable fibers, and biodegradable materials is growing, thus reducing the environmental footprint of rug production.
In many cases, manufacturers also maintain ethical labor policies and exert considerable efforts ensuring an adequate wage to the artisans besides a safe working environment. The accreditation measures like GoodWeave and Fair Trade have also been growing.

"I would like that maybe for under the legs and then back..." She paused, shaking her head, trying to stay focused.
Flow smiled a little. "I'm glad some movement is working; of course, it's hard when those are curious about an expecting albino human after all." She said it was true.
She had caught some looking at her with curiosity to double takes on a few who were not aware a human could look like herself... an ironic thing. Then, there were her little hobbies, such as sewing, as she waited for Trigel to get assistance from the doctor. She wanted to kill time, but Flow guessed they were wowed by her handcraftsmanship.
"But I think things will move faster when after the two were born." She brought up a good point... before leaning a tad forward. "So... how's getting the cloak?"
Dissruption
( @bladedalchemistreplica ) They couldn't understand the changing pace anymore. Everything was processing unnaturally as the Cybertronas left to get supplies, with the looming weird effect of a new wormhole and ships. Flow initially didn't want to go—mostly to stay with Ozar, given that she was progressing with her pregnancy. But the Luiteinet assured her, giving his hat, that things would be fine. She hesitated until the last minute as the others helped Flow up the ship… After all, the seeker has been drinking more energy in her haloform lately… she needed it. Then, after attaining the supplies and returning them, The Cybertronians were shocked. So much changed… Alteans- these were not from the Planet Ghost visited, and this was different. A clean facade with an ugly core- familiar with their own personal government-- and Voltron is missing. No answer or sign of the blades or fighters… They assumed the worst until they found answers; however-- the ship got blasted- and the cybertronians were forced to flee. Mostly to keep a very almost Flow safe from the carnage- This led to Fedelis's predicament, as he somehow was still alive but made a crater from his own mass, face first. On a foreign planet, I have no clue what happens to the femmes. A deep worry as he was trying to get his bearing to push himself out of the crater.
