Lighting and knick knacks

For the presentation of our mood boards, Rhyan and myself were given the topic of lighting and knick knacks to research.

First of all I read through the book and round the following references which would help me in my research:

Chapter 3

‘the dishes and plates on the walls, and the bronzes’

‘antiques which gave a particularly aristocratic character to the whole place’

‘and dull and polished bronzes’

‘drawing-room with its Japanese plates on the walls’

Chapter 5

‘He jumped up and tried to light the candle, felt for it with trembling hands, dropped candle and candlestick on the floor, and fell back on his pillow’

Chapter 6

‘the bronze ornamentation of an album’

I used these quotes to find images of what I thought would be found in Ivan's house.

A 19th century photo album

Includes raised brass detail on the front, like the one

described in the book which scratches a table.

Both of these are 19th century Japanese 'patterned' plates. probably of a similar design to those which Ivan would have had on his wall. The first is

Wedgewood.

An 18th century French bronze figure of a faun. The book suggested that Ivan like antiques (as a few of the items I have included would have been at that time, including this one), it also said that there were bronzes which may have looked like these.

I also found a nice 19th century portrait which I felt would fit well with the decor (http://rjmantiques.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_17&products_id=682), however I couldn't upload the image without it being massive...so I'm afraid the link above will have to suffice...

I also felt that this French 19th century clock would not be out of place in Ivan's home...
