The Romance of the Rose



Perfection in wood inspired by the medieval epic, The Romance of the Rose. Note the gorgeous polychrome textile design on the figures' tunics! From the drawing room of the Tower House, London.

    WOW. I'm a bit speechless. Perhaps we could instigate a takeover and make Tower House our own!
