Ferd Sobol
A customer of mine just mentioned the name Ferd Sobol in an email. The name was familiar, so I googled ;-).
Holy mother of God!! To say that she makes exquisite furniture (and sculptures) is an understatement! Check it out:
LOL IknowRite?!?!?! i accidentally surfed into a site introducing a magazine article they wrote for a miniature magazine....holy crap! i'll send you the link (i enthusiastically sent it to Susan the moment i saw it too!!!) their work is a little too sophisticated for me though i admire their tools and dedication!
Oh ,they rearranged their website,thank you for sharing Kiva.I kept my eyes on this great furniture masters long time ago,but in the beginning they haven't so much photos and informations about theit items.Isn't the bedroom a dream? I would like to have that in real ,too :-))!Hugs,Jeannette
When I was a young girl, my mother and I attended a miniatures show and saw Ferd Sobol and his wife, Millie (this was over 20 years ago!). I distinctly remember his gorgeous dining room set rotating on a turntable. The craftsmanship and beauty still sticks in my memory!
I just came acroos the blog entry so I don't know if you'll ever see it but...
Millie and Ferd are two of the nicest people on earth. Many years ago I bought an absolutely gorgeous Hepplewhite sideboard from Ferd. There was no way I could pay for it all at once and he kindly let me pay it off over the course of two years. How many people would do that? It remains one of the prizes of my collection.
Beautiful craftsmanship!!!! Thank you for sharing that.
