Fun post. I love icon art like the last several photos. I also love the design of old furniture. Like the settee or loveseat that is like two chairs that are attached in the middle. Its like two full chairs with the arms and shaped back but they are connected into a sofa.
Icon art is a real thing and I appreciate it as art, but can't really be enthusiastic about it as in my religion, we don't have many saints, we don't have these icons, so it means less to me.
That settee or loveseat was very popular back then, I've seen quite a lot of these in big and famous museums in Europe.
