Cicero - Fireside Delight CarvingABOUT THIS CARVING Full Inscription: There is no place more delightful than one's own fireside. Cicero Origins: Marcus Tullius Ciceros great thought was taken from his Epistles in the original Latin and translated for us into English. The famous Roman orators message says it all about just how nice it is to be at home. However, an ancient Roman design style for this carving just didnt seem right to us. Ultimately, we selected a William Morris

GTI-QU001-6-OH

after reading further about Jones’ exploits on the high seas

I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty

but then that is the mark of good design

but the first use and source are unknown

Those lodes and pockets of earth

The smack of Californian earth shall linger on the palate of your grandson

and the wine is bottled poetry: these still lie undiscovered

My little horse must think it queer

this carving is fit for prominent display in Toad Hall itself — or any hall you may inhabit

Recommended Finish: We really like this carving in our Vintage Cherry finish because it works so well with the lighter

or any nation so conceived and so dedicated
