you have a thing for aquatic life.

Your home would be well-armed!

Not for me, but for thee?

I think I could grow to love that

it would be a conversation piece.

But not against that wall and ceiling, or with those colors. This needs to be in a room with dark wood furniture / wall trim/ moulding. Deep saturated color on the walls and ceiling. Think maybe the captains quarters on an old, wooden, 5-masted schooner or an old mansion's library.

You could even do it on a porch as long as you could protect it from wind/bad weather.

You'd have to be careful about the candle's, but definitely use them.

I was going to say "I might, if I had the house to go with it." I admire Art Nouveau and particularly staind glass, but I'm way too committed to surrounding myself with things that function for me to beable to put together even a single room where that would look good, -much les a house.

tamper with perfection, Solly!

You want a matching pair!

Looks like French or German 1910s era.
Art Nouveau or Jugenstil.
Or maybe someone at Tiffany's on acid...

just saw the image on the innerwebz without any explanation.

an engineering marvel!

I’d love to have it, though I bet it’s hell to dust.

Use a pressure washer. It's an octopus. It will hold up.

Oh yeah! It'd be perfect in my man cave.

😎

but not as it is

I think they distract from the stained glass.

Way cool with a parrot sitting on it. Arrrr.....

... in which I patrol the world's sealanes, sinking vessels of war of all flags.

It's an improvement compared to deer neck mount hanging on a wall.

I'm extremely fortunate that there's none of that creepy nonsense here in this home.


I can't stand being in people's homes that have these type of trophies.


I also understand how important it is for deer hunters to help control the deer population to keep deer diseases in decline.



I'm just not a fan of seeing the deer heads hanging on a wall. It's s "I can't breathe" type of dislike.

I didn't mean to get so long winded this morning.

Definetly goes into a maritime themed bar or restaurant. Not sure about a home though.
