My name is Eduardo J Farias and this is my father’s blog (English version). His passion for heraldry and drastic changes in his life drove me to find an alternative and something fun for him. I told him about blogs and he loved the idea so much that he started to work on this project the following day. There are many interesting things we are developing for you. Very soon you will see them. I am not the main writer of this blog. I will be translating most of my father’s blogs he writes in Spanish to English. I will contribute to the Spanish and English versions of this blog once in a while since I am working on preparing new surprises for you.
Hello Mr. Farias:
I am contacting you because I found your blog very interesting. This may be an unusual request but I was wondering if you could help me out with a project I am working on which has now become a personal challenge. I am currently taking a history of interiors (interior design)class and have been assigned a project where we need to find a 1700-1800 European period piece of furniture and describe its origin, history, etc. The cabinet I have fallen in love with unfortunately has very little history other than it came from Europe, France possibly, and it is probably from the late 1700′s early 1800′s. However, on the very top of the cabinet there is a distinctive crest and I was wondering if you or your father would be able to help me in my search of possibly identifying its origin. I could send you a picture if you would be interested in assisting me.
Entiendo si no es algo en que me puedan ayudar – es mas una curiosidad mia y pense que podria ser interestante saber el antecedente de este mueble. Le agradezco su tiempo…y les deseo exito en continuar esta tradicion tan linda. Saludos,
Laura Avila
