I really like the finish. We're mostly hobbist here and like to do things ourselves. I appreciate that you must protect your process since you have to earn a living at it, but if you have any non-proprietary formulas you've developed in the process of inventing this, for those of us who like to mess around, I know you'll find lots of interest in whatever you might want to share. I'm retired and have more time than money at this point in my life. But we hope to be in Great Britain next year. Are there any of your pieces in gardens accessible to the public there?

Danell, you probably will get an answer if you put this over on "landscaping forum" They have several professionals that come on & help people also they like a pic so they can see what it is you want something around but will answer without it. Be sure to include your planting zone & whether sunny spot or mostly shade so they can give you the best answer!

Hi D! Your statue appears to be the work of the famous French foundry of Eck and Durand (c. 1840-1863). Their work is represented in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London and the Art Institute of Chicago. Upon the death of Jean George Eck in 1863, Durand withdrew and sold the firm. Many of Eck and Durand's works were later recast by Victor Thiebaut. You may need to have someone familiar with bronzes in general look at it to see if it is an original or a recast. I wish I had some info on your table. All I can say is that "Blackmoors" are always a hot and in-demand subject in the antiques and interior design markets. I'm jealous! I hope this helps!!! Baer

Our door hardware is like that in your first photo - a very dark brown with just a touch of the lighter shade showing through. I really like it. I have found that matching it exactly in some of the other accessories that I've brought in has been impossible, but even that lighter shade looks just fine with it, IMO. I love ORB. I think I'll still love it even when it's no longer "in style." ;-)
