I have a quick question, the copper panel on that cabinet in your blog, is that repousse. And also do you know more of the story of where this cabinet came from? I ask, because I did not work on this piece, but I did do work on the sister piece. The story told to me was that it was a series, of at least four, with each panel representing, either the four winds or seasons. Does this ring a bell? Just curious. John, RVR John, Hello.
