Love it when paint samples remind you of something else such as geological formations. On the left a cross section from an 18th C London Town House, on the right sample of Fairburn Agate #paintresearch #layers #paintarchaeology

Twitter! Can you help?
We have some oil lamps at a church in Monmouthshire that need refurbishment to get them working for a wedding. Does anyone know anyone who knows anything about mending 1890s oil lamps?
Maybe you do @lrbilson ??
