I didn't find any names for the various carvings, but I did find a lot of very similar carvings to the ones on your woodwork and dresser! It could be a stylized sunflower, which was a very popular motif during the Aesthetic period. I've said it before, but I adore your original woodwork, and I just LOVE those dovetails on your dresser! :-)<br /><br />-PamPam of Eastlake Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149348967860577425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183416806466219655.post-65678137631752513882010-05-20T13:19:53.262-05:002010-05-20T13:19:53.262-05:00I don't have a clue as to whether there is a n...I don't have a clue as to whether there is a name for the flower, but the motif was popular during the era. I will say that I am envious of your dresser (and most of the other things you have around your place!) and that you've gotten yet another room finished while I'm dallying around with one stinking floor! :) <br /><br />Hope all is well with you!Ciara Gianellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132788009922087429noreply@blogger.com
