One of my favourite subjects!
Stair railing .. I have made an actual mile of handrails for a Hospital refit in 1979 .. simple enough profile but it was a WW2 era building on multiple levels and corridor widths so Swan necks etc.
This! Is a whole other level job. 1843 and all hand faired.
More pics to follow as this is a masterpiece.
