Unicorn? What unicorn?
So, I'm in New York this week and my first stop was the Cloisters. If you are not familiar with the Cloisters, it is a decent collection of medieval items. The most famous of which is the collection of the Unicorn Tapestries. Well, when I got there, my attention was focused squarely on the wrought iron stuff on display. A humorous incident happend in the tapestry room. I was so intently studying and photographing some iron items by a fireplace that one of the guards jokingly asked me if I had noticed the tapestries on the wall...
Well, there were a lot of iron work items in the museum. Unfortunately, a large number of them had no description or a very minimal description. I particularly liked the metal folding chair and the brazier. Lots of candlelabras as well. I think I may do some candlelabras after the chest. They should be much quicker than the chest.
