2012 V&A project: Doors and adornments

At the beginning of the year I set myself some blog projects one of which was to explore different rooms at the V&A and record them on camera.

This is a curious and often over looked collection or a least it doesn't attract the numbers some of the other rooms do. It's loosely labelled ironwork but aside from some nice metal work there is also an impressive wooden staircase which is about 400 years old (if memory serves), some very old doors and lots of carved stone heads that presumably adorned the outside of buildings.

Here's a selection of what you can find together with some snaps I took of the shadows the windows were making on the marble staircase leading to the room.
