An old, good couple (mixed marriage)
Hi,
This time, a mixed, French-Swedish couple of str8’s.
Both are faux framebacks, scales in Bocote wood.
Brass pins, washers and spacers.
1. Charles Guerre, Langres, 13/16", between 1862-1872;
2. Erik Anton Berg, Eskilstuna, 9/16", ca. 100 years old
And here, the couple in his bed.

Nice result, a lot of work I think, some kind of "Imperator touch" I guess...
what kind of compound did you use ?
I think you're right with the datation, this kind of "fraux frameback" was in mood duing the 1870 1900 years
Regards
