with and
decorating with reproductions of their household pets such as their dogs and
cats as well as
African animals such as the hippo, camel, ostrich, monkey and elephant.
You will find this
influence in the animal figure carvings on tables and chairs of this period
which frequently
have carved animal heads and paw feet. Linda’s shop abounds with an
