It’s quite an honor: the editorial staff of the Belgian magazine on interior decorating called “Landelijk Wonen” (Country Living) has published quite an elaborate and captivating article regarding my daily activities as a ornamental wood carver.

The article appeared in the January edition of 2014.

The Danish Magazine “Jeanne d’Arc Living”

In the January 2014 edition, an editorial appeared, discussing our activities.

My activities were extensively covered in this January 2014 edition of the Danish Lifestyle Magazine “Jeanne d’Arc Living”.

“Jeanne d’Arc Living” Magazine is a monthly lifestyle magazine, which has become incredibly popular over a short period of time. 

This popular Danish magazine appears in !eight different languages (Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Dutch, English and German) and since 2009, there’s also a English version of the magazine available.

The main reason why this magazine is so popular, is due to the exceptionally attractive and tasteful photography of Nordic-French country style.

“Jeanne d’Arc Living” came into existence in 2007 in the form of a collaboration between two Danish women. In 2009, “Jeanne d’Arc Living” Magazine first saw the light of day. From 2009 till 2011, the “Jeanne d’Arc Living” Magazine appeared 8 times a year. 

From 2012 on, this popular magazine about antiques and collectibles was available in stores on a monthly basis and was available for subscription as well.

The retail price is € 9.95 and the magazine hardly contains any advertising. Apart from the magazine, the company also has books and products in “Real nostalgic country style” on offer. Nowadays, the “Jeanne d’Arc Living” Magazine also reserves many of its pages for exclusive products, recipes, flower arrangement and country lifestyle. The characteristic style of the magazine is applied consistently throughout every article. Each edition brings attractive, yet sober photographs (close-ups) and staged photography. 

The picture below is a short piece of text of this extensive coverage 
in the Finnish issue of Jeanne d'Arc Living. 
Funny to see, Finnish is a language that is entirely unfamiliar to me.

A few months ago, we had the privilege of performing an extremely interesting restoration.
In the March 2013 edition, the prominent Dutch magazine Monuments will publish an extensive article about this unique restoration. 

Castle of Lembeck
(Germany)

 







A gilded chandelier that has been hanging in the Schlaun’sche Hall, inside Castle Lembeck in Dorsten (Westfalen, Germany) for many generations. The chandelier was carved from limewood and composed of many individual ornaments. It’s in rococo or late baroque style. 

The chandelier has sustained severe damage during and after the Second World War. To prevent even more damage by the ravages of time, leaving no or very little undamaged ornaments to restore the chandelier in an appropriate manner, it was decided to restore the chandelier straight away. The restoration took place in 2012 and was performed over the course of several months.
The decision to restore the chandelier fortunately was a timely one, seeing as it was already quite a challenge to find out what the missing ornaments looked like or might have looked like.

In the March 2013 edition of Monuments, an extensive article about this restoration will be published.
