That is simply beautiful beyond words.
Yours is the only collection that I know of where one has to stop and remind yourself that these are weapons, so easy is it to get lost in all of the intricate artistry, and while the work in horn, ivory and wood is awesome, the results drawn out of the metal are unbelievable.
It's the most unique method of theft controll I've ever seen as well.........if a burglar were to break in, by the time the police arrived and shouted to get his hands in the air, his reply would be,"Shhhhh! Hey, look at that one over there!!! What is that one?"
