.....As to the engraving itself, I didn't pick the engraving style, I left that up to the engraver and told him to do what ever he felt like doing. He actually mixed several vintage engraving styles of various period masters. I really like how it turned out.



Considering that you let someone go carte blanche engraving shows enormous trust, yet when they referred to period engraving styles would make it a very special piece in your eyes indeed, especially when both of you have really still retained the aged patina as much as you could.
Marvellous work for your engraver mate, I do hope he get more work in the future.
The styles he picked really do suit your piece.
