wood bare which was an innovation of the time.\u00a0 Placed on a background of darker oak, the paler carved wood became the focus of the decorative scheme.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the Victorians\u00a0 had a propensity for staining the carvings and that is the state in which many are seen today.\u00a0 When a 1986 fire at Hampton Court Palace destroyed a 7-foot cascade, or drop, of carved vegetation, a Gibbons masterpiece, Esterly reproduced the work.\u00a0 He was at Hampton Court for a year.\u00a0 To learn more, read Esterly&#8217;s memoir <em><a title=\"david esterly-the-lost-carving\"
