This sink is from a house built by 2 spinster cousins at the end of the 1700's ... they had been on the Grande Tour, and built their house to home all the things they had bought.

Thank you.

I truly love visiting Stately Homes ... and try to keep my eyes open for all sorts of things

Those are both really nice details - I especially like the expression on the face of the lion in the second one.

My goodness, I'm not sure I'd sleep well with that sink-head lying in wait for me!

*g* ... hadn't thought about it like that. My mum would have loved to see him in the morning, as she adored lions!

I know we're supposed to feel guilty for looting all those antiquities, but I really like the wash basin.

That hand basin is wonderful.
And I love the other lion, too.

Wasn't till I read your comment I realised that I had posted 2 lions!

Yes, that Androcles Lion is cute, isn't he?

Great choices! How awesome to have such kind of souvenirs. I imagine it must have been quite something to get them all home, though!
