Historic Campaign Desk
One of my clients is a furniture design company (David Iatesta & Co.) The founder’s home is, of course, filled with wonderful pieces of furniture from all over the world. Some of the furniture is new, some very old. We were using his home for a room shot, and as we’re setting up I asked if it was ok to set my computer down on a particularly old campaign desk. David replies that it’s fine, and away we go. A couple of hours later he turns to me and says, “You know that campaign desk used to belong to Napoleon, right?”
It’s events like this that are one of the many reasons I love my job!
