Chinoiserie Porch Rail

Miles of historic Chinoiserie


porch rail.
 A sweetness of scale.

Doesn't block the eye sitting in a chair.

Oh , I get it about 'code'.  But this sweetness of scale is a joy.  Built as a hotel, 1897, when the train north only came as far south as Clyde, North Carolina.  More pics from Skyland Camp for Girls, ca. 1917.

    This is so unusual. The black colour is unusual too. I really like it.

    You and your "fancy eastern words"! Sitting in the mountains in Colorado right now, and I'm enjoying similar effects you describe...and it is so refreshingly cool.
