V&A

A few weeks ago I went past the V&A and I thought I might as well just go in and have a look about the place to see all the really interesting historical items within the V&A.

While looking through the V&A I really had my eye colt by the more natural, older looking piece which was around the V&A, through the way I feel looking at this piece you can see the hidden human which made them back when they were new.

Photo I took of the door

One of the examples of what I was saying this this 11-12 century door that is slowly falling apart and which has natural decay, which to me adds more to the door, then if it was new. Especially at the bottom of the door there are crooks and there are parts of the door where the wood is completely gone. To me, I feel looking at a piece like this which are fulling part add more to the piece than looking at something so new because the decay shows the age and the life in a way that the object when through to get to that point where the different natural tones are fading or darker in different natural tones are fading or darker in different places.

Like you can see here, there are there are these little holes that have naturally been made by bugs and the time that it has gone through. This whole door is like a chapter of the time it has gone through which to me makes it really interesting.

Also the metal on the door, add another interesting element to the door through the way you can see the marking when the people was making it. Also the metal has stained the wood which makes the darker parts of the door.

Other historical object(s) that I found really interesting was these metal objects because I really love the little handmade marking which have been add to them and the faces that the maker, made on these piece which would of had more meaning back when it was made. That a very interesting point, the way there was once meaning to these piece but other time they have just become historical objects and the meanings have change through the way they are important to keep save so less damage happens through the way they are a part of history. 

I also really like the contact between the piece and the wall behind through the way the pieces are really old and they are placed on the new wall which makes them stand out ever more.

Another object that I found interesting was these stairs, through the way they are held up with modern metal and they are very old wood which has been placed in a way to make it look like the stair were naturally there.

Similarly to the door these stair has the natural warn out textures which add these small little detail that I always notice and love through the way they show what time naturally does to an object. 

Overall, I feel that going into the V&A was very interesting through the way it showed me again the lovely naturally decaying objects that I always love seeing.
