Bowes Museum

 
The Anticipation was riveting. Each viewers breathe held on a knife edge, waiting, waiting, anticipating. The key holder with his jovial patter cranked the delicate mechanism that is only wound up once daily because of her aged delicacy. It was awe on everyone's mind. The Silver Swan turned her head, she turned it back, she bowed to chomp a fish and that was it!!!. However one must remember that in the eighteen fifty's such a feet would have been the jewel of British craftsmanship, and every viewer would have been spellbound by this magic. One of the earliest working mechanism of British craftsmanship and fine silver workmanship...
 
 
Cakes, buns and coconut covered jellies. Reproduction model making at it's best, Lifelike!!

 
I loved this gown but sadly I have no information to share about it. it's elegant, refined and accentuates the female form to her best

 
The gem of the Bowes Museum. Finely crafted by students from Cleveland College Of Art and Design CCAD. This garment, dress, reproduction of a time gone by reflecting Cultural Materials for which we are about to discover!!
