Hi Tristan,

At the risk of sounding dumb :) - what exactly do you mean by a Torse?? or mantle?? (I have mental images - but would love to be sure I know what You mean). :)

Also - do you have any specific painting/illumination in mind as a starter? or are you going by general gut feelings??

regards,
Muriel (de Chimay)
