出于對古堡項目的喜愛,男爵Humphry Wakefield 是最開始萌生還原古堡系列念頭的人,他和每一位城堡的主人做出了最開始的籌備工作。
Humphry Wakefield 認(rèn)為,Baker是這個世界上唯一一個對真品還原理解達(dá)到最高水平的公司,并且,Baker擁有世代流傳的工藝,能夠勝任還原古堡系列家具真品的任務(wù)。所以他選擇與Baker合作。

我最喜歡收藏美的事物,無論是中國的還是英國的,只要它是令人興奮的美之所在。
My favourite thing to collect is ‘beauty’! Whether it is Chinese or English, just so long as it is beautiful.
可悲的是,現(xiàn)如今的藝術(shù)品和家具都被設(shè)定為“聰明”,卻忽略了給生活增加美感和幸福感。
Sadly, art and furniture of today set out to be‘clever’ , and forget the‘beautiful’adds happiness to life.
每段旅游經(jīng)歷都完全不同,都會為生命增添榮耀和多樣性。
The vastly different travel experiences are both totally extraordinary and most definitely all to be experienced to add to the glory and diversity of life.
城堡見證了戰(zhàn)爭和王朝更替,見證了最權(quán)威的政治和權(quán)力。
These Castles have seen wars and kings, with involvement in highest politics and power .
我相信,古堡里古董家具會給主人帶來好運、力量、生命力。
I believe that pieces copied from the Stately Homes carry with lords the good luck, the power and life.

是的,我喜歡冒險。600年前,在整個世界上,騎士就作為一種“文化”,關(guān)聯(lián)著家族的榮譽(yù)。這種文化實際上說的是活得豐富多彩、完整。不要擔(dān)心安全,但愛惜榮譽(yù),保護(hù)婦女和兒童,保護(hù)人性中最美好的東西,驅(qū)除邪惡……[點擊查看]
