Courcy's Mill

Conception and realization of two cartouches connected on a cul-de-lampe.

The profile is in a U form to embrace the transversal square beam in ceiling which divide two separated spaces.

The composition of the sculpture has come easy : in one hand the client have wished to have written somewhere the name of his mill, and in an other hand, I was guided by the atmosphere of the place : Austerity and Nobility of the architecture, freestones, a beautiful oak smart carpentry have helped my composition choice.

I have choose the baroque high age and the oak wood to express "austerity / nobility"; this style have allowed a kind of stiffness in the vertical design of the ornaments.
