Wooden Skeleton Rocking Chair Was Made In Russia During The 19th Century
Truly, there is something macabre about skeleton rocking chairs, but they are comfortable. It is because they are handcrafted from gorgeous pieces of wood meant to last for a long time. The pieces of furniture go for thousands of dollars and can even go for more through certain auction houses. Newer versions of the chair are patterned after a 19th-century version that is about 54 inches high. The chairs were carved ornately to make it look like you are sitting in a skeleton. We can see why some would find it spooky, but this might appeal to those of you who are fond of gothic themes!
This Ornate Ax Was Made In Germany In The Late 1500s
The craftsmanship that it took to make the ax is inspiring. It makes us wish we were alive during the days when blacksmiths worked in their forges for hours on end. The short-handled ax boasts of many uses such as throwing or chopping, but there is something about this piece that makes us think that it was meant to be used for decoration. After all, how can you take such a beautiful thing with you into battle only to throw it at the enemy? There is a good chance that the owner would not get it back after that. We are sure that there are better tools out there for this job.
