Bacchus


Walking past this local restaurant, I was drawn by the character of their entrance.  Visitors are greeted by a nice heavy aged wood door, with a playful metal relief of Bacchus (the god of wine and intoxication).  I am sucker for the marriage of materials, textures and tones, and this was a great example of it.  Unfortunately, nowadays it is becoming more difficult to distinguish between an authentic piece versus one that has been treated to look like it has character without the experience of time.  Another sad metaphor of the times we live in.  Focus on and reward substance.
