What is your biggest and ugliest of the scar, and the story behind it?
Mine is 3 long, thick purple scars in my ankle and foot, the bike fell off the sidewalk and my gears were razor sharp, slicing clean 3-fold in my foot. I stayed there for a second, thinking on my foot was fine, but then the blood was everywhere
My biggest is my caesarean scar. I would not say it's ugly though. I am proud that I gave birth my beautiful son who is two months old today =)
Sharp Folded
Did you know that in Victorian times, people were so repressed, that not only was the vision of a female ankle considered scandalous, even the view of table legs was considered improper and unseemly! That's how the table legs should also be kept covered and out of sight, were the legs after all!
So what is the story of the boards, and in particular the dining table, which is usually the focal point of our dining table? It makes sense to discover, especially if you're interested in buying antique dining table.
In was during the 16th century that the table (derived from the Latin word tabula a board, a table or a flat piece), actually went into his account, dining tables and other hard tables have been around for literally ages. In ancient times, tables were made of different materials and different designs from today: for example, the Egyptians used the wood or stone and their tables were in vogue as pedestals, while the Assyrians of metal. Other ancient civilizations were known for the use of marble.
As tables of evolution became more diversified as its role and the dining table as such originated in the Middle Ages. The first type of dining table is believed to have been the kind of rack that could be dismantled when not in use. It was during the medieval period that the concept of eating together, while gathered at dining tables originated. During the Renaissance, Spain and Italy, rectangular tables are designed with a view bolstered by support stretchers, which often had an arcade of columns through the center. A well known and striking example of the types of pictures produced during the Renaissance is the Farnese table of inlaid marble, believed to be attributed to Vignola. Then there are the pictures of the time Elizabethan, characterized by its rounded legs. Elizabethan tables also include the drawing board, a precursor of the extension table. Later the concept of tables gate leg also emerged and became popular, these tables had fins that could be folded down when not in use.
There are several ways to tell a real old dining table so that you can be sure that what you are buying an imitation that is not posed as an old original. For example, if a table is old and has been used for many, many years, his legs obviously have uneven wear, and also the edges of the table should be rounded and smooth years of use instead of angular and sharp. If the table legs have been replaced at any time, then, that could diminish the value of a table to wear the legs is a good indicator for basing its decision on. Any bars or pins on the table surface should protrude from the surface of a real dining room table old because the old wood will decrease over time making these bars and bolts (also known as plugs) protrude from the wood a little cramped.
