Goldsmith Birdhouses
|
If you love the architecture of the past and appreciate the value of these great old buildings then youll love the architectural reproductions that this company does using reclaimed lumber that is usually more than 150 years of age. Now isnt that a neat concept? Not only are we talking about a walk back in time for design we are talking about materials that are truly antique. What a great combination! Karl Goldsmith is the heart of Goldsmith birdhouses with his passion for creating beautiful art that is rich is architectural history. His pieces focus on the early American architecture and landscaping preserving the history of an era long gone. Now youve got to admit theres nothing quite like capturing the spirit of America in a birdhouse. Now thats art! Within these birdhouses youll find a tale of an earlier life that was much more simplistic, more in touch with nature, and so much more cozy. Small towns where everyone knew each other. Farming communities where the spirit of sharing and helping was strong. One of Goldsmiths most famous birdhouses is the reproduction Edward Ellwanger Estate House which was originally designed by Fletcher Steel an architecture that had designed more than 700 gardens throughout his career that lasted more than 60 years. Now whats so unique about this situation is the birdhouse that Steel designed for the gardens of Ellwanger. This birdhouse stood more than 5 feet in height and gained quite a reputation in its era. It is the Ellwanger Birdhouse that Goldsmith has reproduced and its one of his most famous pieces. Of course there are plenty of others. Mustard Gambrel Barn, White Honey House, Mustard Salt Box, Little Red Schoolhouse, Whaling Church, or the Pink Honey House are a few of the other favorites that never go unnoticed. If you really have an appreciation for the past combined with bird houses you wont be able to stop with just one. Soon youll find yourself the proud owner of several Goldsmith Birdhouses. And its great because Ill bet your neighbors arent nearly the art coinsure you are! About The Author: Joanne is an author of Decorz.com.
