Robert was invited
to tender for the
restoration and
refurbishment of
No.10 Downing
Street.
The sheer amount of
architectural
carving involved
deemed it necessary
for several
woodcarvers to be
involved.
At the end of the
project Robert was
invited to carve the
Royal Arms
(approximately one
metre square) which
now adorns one of
the State Rooms and
is one of his most
favourite
commissions to date. |
