<div><br><b>FÃƒÂ¢nis Castle is an Italian fortress dating back as early as the 1242 CE. The castle is located in the town of Aosta on the Dora Baltea River.</b> It was constructed under the direction of Prince Challant who owned the region of Val d'Aosta and wanted to use it in order to control the area's iron trade. Though it has never been assaulted, it is fortified with tall stone walls and several cylindrical towers. The Castello di Fenis more commonly known as the castle of Fenis is a 13th century castle built by the Challant family. This fairytale like castle took almost 100 years to build and is the best presserved castle in the Valle d'Aosta.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Wissekerke Castle is situated in the village of Bazel of Kruibeke municipality in the East Flanders province of Belgium.</b> Although a castle stood at this site since 10th century, the present castle was largely built in the 15th century with lake, park and a suspension bridge. The suspension bridge by the castle is one of the oldest suspension bridges and was built in 1874.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Many famous names lived at Wissekerke castle, including the influential family of Vilain XIIII. </b>For 139 years the members of this family were the mayors of Bazel. Through the centuries the castle has been rebuilt and renovated. The most important building works were completed in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most of the present architecture recalls 19th century neo-gothic style. The major interior features also date from this period. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Bodiam Castle is a quadrangular castle located near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, supposedly at the request of Richard II in order to defend the surrounding area from French invasion. By 1434 Sir Edward Dalyngrigge's son Richard was living in the castle.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle is completely surrounded by a moat with approaches from the north and south. There were also machicolations in the gatehouse and in the postern to drop scalding water and tar on invaders. Though the moat is a good barrier, the walls of the castle are not very thick, and there is only one line of defence (unlike a concentric castle). When it was built, early cannons were already in use, but castles were still valuable as bases for troops even if they were becoming more vulnerable to direct attack.</div><br/>



<div><br><b>At the time of building, England and France were fighting the Hundred Years' War, which had been going on since 1337. The south coast of England, where Bodiam was to be built, was in constant threat of French invasion. The castle defends the upper reaches of a river that was navigable as far as Bodiam in medieval times. Sir Edward died childless around 1395 and the castle passed to his brother's children, including William Dallingridge, before passing to Sir Thomas Lewknor and family in the late fifteenth century. During the centuries since its building, the castle was owned by a succession of powerful Sussex families, including the Bosvilles and the Levett family, for whom the lane in front of the castle today is named. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Castel Nuovo (Italian: "New Castle"), often called Maschio Angioino,</b> is a castle in the city of Naples, southern Italy. It is the main symbol of the architecture of the city. Castel Nuovo has been expanded or renovated several times since it was first begun in 1279. Before the accession of Charles I of Anjou to the throne in 1266, the capital of the Kingdom of Naples was Palermo. There was a royal residence in Naples, at the Castel Capuano. However, when the capital was moved to Naples, Charles ordered a new castle, not far from the sea, built to house the court. Works, directed by French architects, began in 1279 and were completed three years later.</div><br/>



<div><br><b>Under king Robert (reigned from 1309), </b>the castle was enlarged and embellished, becoming a centre of patronage of art. In 1347 Castel Nuovo was sacked by the army of Louis I of Hungary, and had to be heavily restored after the return of queen Joanna I. The new works permitted the queen to resist the Hungarian siege during Louis' second expedition. The castle was besieged numerous times in the following years, and was the official residence of King Ladislas from 1399. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Fougares (Felger in Breton, Foujerr in Gallo) is a commune and a sub-prefecture of the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Bretagne in northwestern France.</b></div></br>



<div><br><b>ChÃƒÂ¢teau Fougares' major monument is a medieval stronghold built atop a granite ledge, </b>which was part of the ultimately unsuccessful defence system of the Duchy of Brittany against French aggression, and part of a tripartate with Vitra</div></br>

<div><br><b>Fougares also has one of only three belfries in Brittany.</b> Its location serves as the center of the weekend market. The belfry, built 1397, has symbolic importance it allowed ordinary people access to timekeeping previously the preserve of the church and nobility.</div></br>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scotney Castle is a country house with formal gardens south-east of Lamberhurst in the valley of the River Bewl in Kent, England.</b> The earliest record from 1137 gives the owner of the estate as Lambert de Scoteni. Roger Ashburnham is credited with building the castle c.1378-80.
Construction of the castle began as a roughly rectangular fortified house with towers in each corner. The original plan may never have been finished, and by 1558 it is likely only the southern tower remained. In 1580 the south wing was rebuilt in Elizabethan architecture style, and around 1630 the eastern range was rebuilt in three story Inigo Jones style. The Elizabethan wing remained a bailiff's residence until 1905, but the eastern range was partly dismantled on the completion of the new house in 1843, leaving the ruin as a garden feature.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Castle of Rivoli is a former Residence of the Royal House of Savoy in Rivoli (province of Turin, Italy). It is currently home to the Museum of Contemporary Art of Turin.</b> The castle was probably built in the 9th-10th centuries, but its existence is mentioned for the first time only in 1159, in a diplom by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa that ceded the Rivolese territories to the bishops of Turin.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The House of Savoy acquired Rivoli in the 11th century,</b> and soon began a feud with the bishops that as soon as 1184 provoked damage to the castle. In 1330 Amadeus VI of Savoy moved in the castle the Consiglio dei Principi, senior administrative council of the countryside. The castle was also <b>the first place of public veneration of the Shroud of Turin </b>in his path towards Turin under Amadeus IX.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nesvizh Castel (Belarusian: &#1053;&#1103;&#1089;&#1100;&#1074;&#1110;&#1089;&#1082;&#1110; &#1079;&#1072;&#1084;&#1072;&#1082;, NiasviÃƒâ€¦Ã‚Â¾ski zamak, Polish: Nie&#347;wieski zamek, Lithuanian: NesvyÃƒâ€¦Ã‚Â¾ius) is a residential castle of the Radziwill family in NiasviÃƒâ€¦Ã‚Â¾ in Belarus.</b> The estate was owned by the Radziwi&#322;&#322; magnate family from 1533, when it was awarded to Miko&#322;aj Radziwi&#322;&#322; and his brother Jan Radziwi&#322;&#322; after the extinction of the Kiszka family. Since the Radziwills were one of the most important and wealthy clans of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, it was there that the Lithuanian Archive was moved in 1551. In 1586 the estate was turned into an ordynacja.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In 1582 Miko&#322;aj Krzysztof "Sierotka" Radziwi&#322;&#322;, the Marshal of Lithuania,</b> voivode of Trakai and Vilnius and castellan of Ãƒâ€¦Ã‚Â iauliai, started the construction of an imposing square three-storey chateau. Although the works were based on a pre-existing structure of a mediÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¦val castle, the former fortifications were entirely turned into a renaissance-baroque house. Construction was completed by 1604, and they added several galleries half a century later. The chÃƒÂ¢teau's corners were fortified with four octagonal towers.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

Since the Radziwills were one of the most important and wealthy clans of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, it was there that the Lithuanian Archive was moved in 1551. In 1586 the estate was turned into an ordynacja.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In 1582 Miko&#322;aj Krzysztof "Sierotka" Radziwi&#322;&#322;, the Marshal of Lithuania,</b> voivode of Trakai and Vilnius and castellan of Ãƒâ€¦Ã‚Â iauliai, started the construction of an imposing square three-storey chateau. Although the works were based on a pre-existing structure of a mediÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¦val castle, the former fortifications were entirely turned into a renaissance-baroque house. Construction was completed by 1604, and they added several galleries half a century later. The chÃƒÂ¢teau's corners were fortified with four octagonal towers.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Villandry is a castle-palace located in Villandry, in the dÃƒÂ¢partement of Indre-et-Loire, France.</b> The lands where an ancient fortress once stood were known as Colombier until the 17th century. Acquired in the early 16th century by Jean Le Breton, France's Controller-General for War under King Francis I, a new chÃƒÂ¢teau was constructed around the original 14th-century keep where King Philip II of France once met Richard I of England to discuss peace.

<div><br><b>The chÃƒÂ¢teau remained in the Le Breton family for more than two centuries until it was acquired by the Marquis de Castellane. During the French Revolution the property was confiscated and in the early 19th century Emperor Napoleon acquired it for his brother Joseph Bonaparte.
<div><br><b>In 1906,Joachim Carvallo purchased the property and poured an enormous amount of time, money and devotion into repairing it and creating what many consider to be the most beautiful gardens anywhere. Its famous Renaissance gardens include a water garden, ornamental flower gardens, and vegetable gardens. The gardens are laid out in formal patterns created with low box hedges. This castle is still owned by the Carvallo family.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Double Jamb With Eyebrow Arch, 90"T X 58"W X 6"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>ivita Castellana is a town in the province of Viterbo, 65 km north of Rome.</b>
Civita Castellana was settled during the Iron Age by the Italic people of the Falisci, who called it Falerii. After the Faliscan defeat against the Romans, a new city was built by the latter, about 5 km away, and called Falerii Novi. The abandoned city was repopulated beginning in the early Middle Ages, with the new name of Civita Castellana (roughly translated as "City of the Castle") mentioned first in 994. In the following centuries the city was a flourishing independent commune, often contended by the Pope and the Holy Roman Empire. Captured by Pope Paschal II at the beginning of the 12th century, the city was given as fief to the Savelli by Gregory XIV.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Sixtus IV assigned the city to Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, the future Pope Alexander VI, who started the construction of the Rocca ("Castle"),</b> which was completed under Julius II.
Civita Castellana became an important road hub with the connection to the Via Flaminia (1606) and the construction of Ponte Clementino after the French victory against a Neapolitan army in 1709.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>Castel del Monte is a comune in the Province of L'Aquila in Abruzzo, Italy.</b> Located in the heart of Italy's Gran Sasso, the medieval hill town is set into a steep hillside nestled beneath mountain peaks near the high plain of Campo Imperatore. The name Castel del Monte is from the Latin "Castellum de Montis" or fortress down from the mountains. The first evidence of human settlement are artifacts from the 11th century B.C.discovered in the valley beneath Castel del Monte and believed to be from an ancient necropolis. In the 4th century BC, Romans conquered the area and established CittÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â  delle Tre Corone, the name meaning "fortified town behind three walls". This town was later abandoned because of the Goth Migrations or Barbarian Invasions and replaced by the fortified town of Ricetto in what is now the oldest part of Castel del Monte.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Porta San Rocco, the main gate to historic Castel del Monte, until the end of the 19th Century, the town's five gates were shut each night to keep out bandits </b>The first recorded mention of Castellum Del Monte came in 1223 in a papal bull by Pope Honorius III. In 1298, the Counts of Aquaviva took possession of the town. In 1474, it passed to Alessandro Sforza and a short time later to the Piccolominis. In 1501, forces loyal to Spain plundered Castel del Monte because of the town's allegiance to France. In 1579, the Piccolominis ceded the village as part of the Baronage of Carapelle to Francesco dei Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. The Medicis, who governed the baronage for over a century-and-a-half, left their imprint on Castel del Monte.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Chiesa Madonna del Suffragio Among the most notable Medici legacies to the town was the construction of Chiesa "Matrice" di San Marco in 1657,</b> the church's tall tower being one of the dominant architectural features of Castel del Monte. Other Medici contributions include the painting of St. John the Baptist in Chiesa Madonna del Suffragio by Benardino di Lorenzo (circa 1585) commissioned by Francesco dei Medici, and the diminutive Chiesa di San Rocco built in 1656.
The town"Ã¢â€žÂ¢s massive defensive walls, largely formed by "wall houses", and its great gates, were also completed under this period of Medici rule. In 1743, the baronage passed to Carlo di Borbone, then king of Naples and Sicily (later King Charles III of Spain). Castel del Monte remained under Spanish rule until the unification of Italy in 1861. Castel del Monte's most notable resident in the 20th century was the shepherd, poet, diarist and sculptor, Francesco Giuliani </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>All Steel Is Coal Fired, Hammered By Master Blacksmiths <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> And Patina Finished.</b>
At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Castello della Manta is a castle near Saluzzo, in Piedmont (northern Italy).
The originary building, dating from the 12th century,</b> was later enlarged and transformed into a noble residence by the family of Saluzzo della Manta, margraves of Saluzzo. Among the numerous halls, the Baronal Hall (Salone Baronale) has a notable relevance for the frescoes decorating its walls, a rare masterwork of Late Gothic painting in northern Italy. The work is attributed to an anonymous Master of Castello della Manta. The cycle, completed soon after 1420, portrays a series of famous heroical figures (both males and females) probably inspired to members of the House of the Margraves of Saluzzo, and wearing precious dresses of the times; and the so-called Fountain of Youthness, a theme taken from the tradition of French medieval stories. They are inspired to the poem by Marquess Thomas III of Saluzzo, Le Chevalier Errant).</div><br/>


<div><br><b>From the Mannerist Art of the late 16th century is instead the Sala delle Grottesche, commissioned by Marquess Michele Antonio around 1560.</b> It has a finely painted ceiling, decorated with stuccoes, grotesques, ancient ruins and architectures, in the typical style of that age.
Annexed to the castle is the church, whose apse has a series of frescoes about the life of Christ dating from the same time of the Baronal Hall decorations.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>All Steel Is Coal Fired, Hammered By Master Blacksmiths <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> And Patina Finished.</b>
At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>Arenberg Castle is a castle in Heverlee close to Leuven in Belgium. </b>The site had been the castle of the lords of Heverlee since the 12th century, but this family became impoverished and had to sell the site in 1445 to the CroÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¿ family from Picardy. Willem van CroÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¿ added to the medieval castle, and donated the Celestine monastery in the castle grounds, . Antoon van Croy demolished the medieval castle and completed the current castle in 1515 on the site of a medieval castle, of which he destroyed all but one tower. The architectural style is in large part traditionally Flemish, with sandstone window frames and brick walls, though it has been structurally altered since 1515 and has elements of Gothic, Renaissance and Neo Gothic architecture. Its large corner towers are typical, once surmounted by a German eagle.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Charles III of Croy was the last duke, </b>and after his death in 1612 without issue the castle passed to the Arenberg family into which his sister had married, and remained in that family until the First World War. The first manned gas-filled balloon flight in history took off from the front lawn of the castle on November 21, 1783; the balloonist was professor Jan Pieter Minckeleers. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Even before the war, the former duke wanted to sell the castle and its grounds to the Catholic University of Leuven,</b> for a reasonable price. However, the castle and park were instead seized by the Belgian government on the outbreak of war and thus it took until 1921 for the university to acquire them, becoming an expanded natural sciences and engineering campus in the style of that of an American university. It is still one of the main campuses of the University, providing facilities for most of the exact sciences. The castle itself is the main building of the Faculty of Engineering and is open to the public.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Dieppe is a castle in the French town of Dieppe in the Seine-Maritime dÃƒÂ¢partement.</b> The castle was founded in 1188, and was destroyed in 1195. The site was restored in the 14th century. The castle was later in large part reconstructed in 1433 by Charles des Marets. The castle is composed of a quadrangular enclosure with round flanking towers and a lower court adjacent. The large west tower dates perhaps from the 14th century, and served as the keep. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Several architectural styles are represented,</b> and flint and sandstone are used in the buildings. A brick bastion and various other buildings have been added to the original enclosure. The castle offers a panoramic view over the town and the coast.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Famagusta (Greek: &#913;&#956;&#956;&#972;&#967;&#969;&#963;&#964;&#959;&#962;, AmmÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â³ch&#333;stos; Turkish: Gazima&#287;usa or Ma&#287;usa) is a city on the east coast of Cyprus and is capital of the Famagusta District. </b>It is located in a bay between Capes Greco and Eloea, east of Nicosia, and possesses the deepest harbour in the island. 
In antiquity, the town was known as Arsinoe (Greek: &#7944;&#961;&#963;&#953;&#957;&#972;&#951;), after Arsinoe II of Egypt, and was mentioned by that name by Strabo. It was also called Ammokhostos (meaning "hidden in sand") and it is still known by that name in Greek today. This name developed into the Famagusta used in Western European languages and the Turkish name, Ma&#287;usa. In full, its Turkish name is Gazi-Ma&#287;usa (Gazi is a Turkish prefix meaning veteran</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Medieval Famagusta, 1192-1571 The turning point for Famagusta was 1192 </b>with the onset of Lusignan rule. It was during this period that Famagusta developed as a fully-fledged town. It increased in importance to the Eastern Mediterranean due to its natural harbour and the walls that protected its inner town. Its population began to increase. This development accelerated in the 13th century as the town became a centre of commerce for both the East and West. An influx of Christian refugees fleeing the downfall of Acre (1291) in Palestine transformed it from a tiny village into one of the richest cities in Christendom. In 1372 the port was seized by Genoa and in 1489 by Venice. This commercial activity turned Famagusta into a place where merchants and ship owners led lives of luxury. The belief that people's wealth could be measured by the churches they built inspired these merchants to have churches built in varying styles. These churches, which still exist, were the reason Famagusta came to be known as "the district of churches". The development of the town focused on the social lives of the wealthy people and was centred </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Krak des Chevaliers (pronounced [k&#641;ak de &#643;&#601;val'je]), transliterated Crac des Chevaliers, is a Crusader fortress in Syria and one of the most important preserved medieval military castles in the world.</b> In Arabic, the fortress is called Qal'at al-&#7716;i&#7779;n (Arabic: &#1602;&#1604;&#1593;&#1577; &#1575;&#1604;&#1581;&#1589;&#1606;&#8206;), the word Krak coming from the Syriac karak, meaning fortress. Krak des Chevaliers was the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller during the Crusades. It was expanded between 1150 and 1250 and eventually housed a garrison of 2,000. The inner curtain wall is up to 100 feet thick at the base on the south side with seven guard towers 30 feet in diameter. King Edward I of England, while on the Ninth Crusade in 1272, saw the fortress and used it as an example for his own castles in England and Wales. The fortress was described as "perhaps the best preserved and most wholly admirable castle in the world" by T. E. Lawrence. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle is located east of Tripoli, Lebanon,</b> in the Homs Gap, atop a 650-metre-high hill along the only route from Antioch to Beirut and the Mediterranean Sea. The Middle East was always a meeting place for many different civilizations, notably the Babylonians, Egyptians, Hittites, Hebrews, Romans, Persians, Byzantines, Arabs, Kurds, Ottoman Turks, Seljuk Turks and Franks. Such a vast array of different cultures led to the creation of the unique architecture preserved in the Krak des Chevaliers.</div><br/>
<div><br><b>Many conflicts were fought between different nations in the general area surrounding the Crac, including the famous Battle of Kadesh.</b> The Romans, and then the Byzantine Empire following the East-West Schism, constructed many different fortresses of Hellenic design to resist Persian military pressure in that area, which led to the architectural design used by the Islamic armies after their conquest of the area from 634 to 639.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

<div><br><b>Castello Ursino is a castle in Catania, Sicily, southern Italy. Built circa from 1239 to 1250, it belonged to Emperor Frederick II, King of Sicily, and was considered impregnable at the time.</b> In 1295, during the Sicilian Vespers, the Parliament which declared deposed James II of Aragon as King of Sicily, replacing him with Frederick III, was held here. The following year it was captured by Robert of Anjou but was later again in Aragonese hands. King Frederick III resided in the castle, as well as his successors Peter II, Louis, Frederick IV and Mary. Here the latter was kidnapped by William Raymond Moncada to avoid her marriage with Gian Galeazzo Visconti (1392). King Martin I held also his court in the castle.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>When the castle was first built, it was on a cliff looking out to sea,</b> however as the result of volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes, it is now a kilometre inland. The castle's former moat too in the 17th century was filled with lava from an eruption by Mount Etna.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b> This castle is the place where Vlad III of the Wallachian empire (commonly known as Dracula) was held prisoner for 7 years.</b> Some say this was where he learned the craft of impaling. The Hunyad Castle (Romanian: Castelul Huniazilor or Castelul Corvine&#351;tilor, Hungarian: Vajdahunyad vÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡ra) is a castle in present-day Hunedoara, Romania. It is a relic of the Hunyadi dynasty. In the 14th century, the castle was given to a Vlach (Romanian) knyaz Serb, or Sorb by Sigismund king of Hungary as severance. The castle was restored between 1446 and 1453 by his grandson John Hunyadi. It was built in Gothic style, but has Baroque and Renaissance architectural elements. It features tall and strong defence towers, an interior yard and a drawbridge.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Being one of the most important properties of John Hunyadi, the castle was transformed during his ruling.</b> It became a sumptuous home, not only a strategically enforced point. With the passing of the years, the masters of the castle had modified its look, adding towers, halls and guest rooms. The gallery and the keep - the last defence tower (called "Ne boisa" = Do not be afraid), which remained unchanged from Iancu de Hunedoara's time, and the Capistrano Tower (named after the francescan monk from the castle court) are some of the most significant parts of the construction. Other significant parts of the building are the Knights' Hall (a great reception hall), the Club Tower, the White bastion, which served as a food storage room, and the Diet Hall, on whose walls medallions are painted (among them there are the portraits of Matei Basarab, ruler from Wallachia, and Vasile Lupu, ruler of Moldavia). In the wing of the castle called the Mantle, a painting can be seen which portrays the legend of the raven from which the name of the descendants of John Hunyadi, Corvinus came.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Sant'Aniceto (also San Niceto) is a Byzantine castle built in the early 11th century on a hill in Motta San Giovanni, now in the province of Reggio Calabria, southern Italy.</b> It is one of the few examples of High Middle Ages architecture in Calabria, as well as one of the few well-preserved Byzantine fortifications in the world. The name derives from that of St. Nicetas, a Byzantine admiral who lived in the 7th-8th centuries.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>The castle was built as a refuge and a warning place during a period in which the ravages of Saracen pirates on the Calabrian and Sicilian coasts were frequent. When the Normans conquered southern Italy, the structure was enlarged, with the addition of rectangular towers.
In the 13th century the castle became he command center of the flourishing fief of Sant'Aniceto (which included Motta San Giovanni and Montebello). </div><br/>


<div><br><b>The castles has an irregular plan, which reminds that of a ship with the bow directed towards the mountains and the aft to the sea. Nest to the entrance are two square towers. At the feet of the short steep path leading to the plain below is a small church, which has a frescoed dome portraying the Christ Pantokrator, a typical subject of Byzantine Art. The height of the well-preserved walls varies from 3 to 3.5 meters, and they are some one meters thick.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb, 87 1/2"T X 48"W X 10"D</b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf, also known as the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf-en-Auxois, is a 15th century fortress in the commune of ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf, 43 km from Dijon, in the CÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â´te-d'Or dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.</b>  The castle was built in 1132 by Jean de Chaudenay for his son Jehan, who took possession of it in 1175 and became Jean I de ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf. Facing the threat of the Hundred Years' War, the lords of ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf then built the powerful fortifications around the 12th century keep. After nine generations in the castle, the reign of the ChÃƒÂ¢teauneufs ended in tragedy when in 1456 the last heiress, Catherine de ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf, was burnt alive for poisoning her second husband, Jacques d'Haussonville.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>View of Philippe Pot's tomb: </b> In 1457, Philippe le Bon, duke of Burgundy, offered the fortress to his advisor Philippe Pot, also of the Order of the Golden Fleece (French: &#314;'Ordre de la Toison d'or) and a knight of Saint Michael. He then modified the castle to make it more comfortable as a residence, in keeping with the style of the court of the Duchy of Burgundy. A chapel and a residence dated to this time were built out in the court of the castle, in the flamboyant Gothic architectural style. At multiple places in the castle one can find the device of Philippe Pot, Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â« Tant L Valt Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â». Philippe died in 1493 without leaving an heir, so the castle went to his brother Guy Pot, then via various alliances to Marie Liesse de Luxembourg. With their entrance into the convent, the castle then passed to Charles de Vienne, count of Comarrin, and remained in the hands of this family for the next 150 years.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau du Bernstein is a castle in the commune of Dambach-la-ville, in the Bas-Rhin dÃƒÂ¢partement of France. </b>It is situated at an altitude of 557m (~1810ft).
Originally, the castle belonged to the Counts of Eguisheim Dabo. After the siege of 1227 it became the property of the bishop of Strasbourg and seat of the episcopal bailiffs until 1580. The castle at Bernstein is among the oldest in Alsace. It was first mentioned at the beginning of the 11th century, though the northern surrounding wall can be dated to prehistoric times. The upper castle with keep, manor house and advanced works probably dates from the end of the 12th century and start of the 13th. In the Gothic era, the manor house was separated from the keep by a ditch, transformed later into a cistern. Towards the end of the 15th century, the St. Marguerite tower, so called from the name of the chapel there, was built in the rear courtyard.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.  When ordering "your door pre hung" the price includes all design drawings for your approval and your choice of finish.</div><br/>

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Suomenlinna, until 1918 Viapori, (Finnish), or Sveaborg (Swedish), is an inhabited sea fortress built on six islands, today within Helsinki, the capital of Finland. </b>Originally named Sveaborg (Fortress of Svea), or Viapori as called by Finns, it was renamed Suomenlinna (Castle of Finland) in 1918 for patriotic and nationalist reasons, though it is still also known by its original name. It is an example of the Star Fort style of fortification.</div><br/>
<div><br><b>Sweden started building the fortress in 1748 as a protection against Russian expansionism.</b> The general responsibility for the fortification work was given to Augustin EhrensvÃƒÂ¢rd. The original plan of the bastion fortress was strongly influenced by the precepts of Vauban, the foremost military engineer of the time.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb 87 1/2"T X 42"W X 7"Deep.</b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>On 21 July 1803, Nicolas-Jean Rouppe, as commissioner of the department of the Dijle, received Napoleon at the Castle of Laken. </b>Napoleon stayed here with his Empress in August 1804 on his way from awarding the first Legion d'Honneur to his invasion troops at Boulogne to his progress along the Rhine, and later (on invading Belgium during the Hundred Days in 1815) dated this proclamation prematurely from the palace.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>"To the Belgians and the inhabitants of the left bank of the Rhine. </b>- The ephemeral success of my enemies detached you for a moment from my empire. In my exile, upon a rock in the sea, I heard your complaint; the God of Battles has decided the fate of your beautiful provinces; Napoleon is among you; you are worthy to be Frenchmen. Rise in a body; join my invincible phalanxes to exterminate the remainder of these barbarians, who are your enemies and mine: they fly with rage and despair in their hearts. - The Imperial Palace of Lacken, 17 June 1815. (Signed) NAPOLEON, The Imperial Palace of Lacken, 17 June 1815. By the Emperor, The Major-General of the Army, Count Bertrand."</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nicolas-Jean Rouppe, as burgomaster of Brussels, received the new king Leopold I of Belgium also at the Castle of Laken on 21 July 1831, </b>the day when Leopold swore allegiance to the Belgian constitution. The French architect Charles Girault gave it its present outline in 1902. It has been the royal residence since the accession to the throne of king Leopold I in 1831. The domain also contains the magnificent Royal Greenhouses of Laeken, a set of monumental dome-shaped constructions. They were designed as well by Alphonse Balat, with the cooperation of the young Victor Horta.</div><br/>

Dating back to the Middle Ages, Freer was a keep given in fiefdom by the Count of Namur to Jean de Rochefort Orjol in 1378. His granddaughter Marie married with Jacques de Beaufort in 1410. Their descendants kept the estate until the present. The keep was destroyed in 1554 by the French during the wars against Emperor Charles V. The oldest part of the current castle, the east wing, was built in 1571 and is one of the first examples of the "Renaissance Mosane" style.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>During the 17th century the house was enlarged by the addition of three wings, forming a square with the original wing.</b> Around 1760 the south wing was pulled down and replaced by a wrought iron gate reminiscent of Jean Lamour's masterpiece in Nancy, closing the inner yard to give the castle its current appearance. The castle is representative of the interior of a nobleman's summer residence of the 18th century. It features many original elements such as the impressive main hall with wall paintings by Frans Snyders and ceiling covered by Louis XV frescoes, or the chapel with its regency wooden panelling and its baroque altar.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The rooms contain the ancient furniture of the Dukes of Beaufort-Spontin</b> as well as traces of history left by royal guests (Louis XIV of France, Archduchess Maria-Christina, eldest child of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, King Stanislas I), and the living memory of 20 generations, among which is a delightful children's coach (18th century) that won the first prize at Paris World Exhibition (1889). At Freer the Coffee Treaty or Treaty of Freer (1675) between France and Spain was signed, and the Treaty of the Borders between France and the Prince-Bishopric of Liege (1772) was negotiated. At this time Louis XIV stayed here as the guest of Jeanne d'Harscamp, Dowager Duchess of Beaufort-Spontin.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Akershus Fortress or Akershus Castle (Akershus Festning, Akershus slott) is the old castle built to protect Oslo, the capital of Norway.</b> The first work on the castle started around the late 1290s, by King HÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¥kon V, replacing TÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¸nsberg as one of the two most important Norwegian castles of the period (the other being BÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¥hus). It was constructed in response to the Norwegian nobleman, Earl Alv Erlingsson of Sarpsborg"Ã¢â€žÂ¢s earlier attack on Oslo. The fortress has successfully survived many sieges, primarily by Swedish forces. In the early 17th c., the fortress was modernized and remodeled under the reign of the active King Christian IV, and got the appearance of a renaissance castle. The fortress was first used in battle in 1308, when it was besieged by the Swedish duke Erik of SÃƒÂ¢dermanland, who later in the same year won the Swedish throne. The immediate proximity of the sea was a key feature, for naval power was a vital military force as the majority of Norwegian commerce in that period was by sea. The fortress was strategically important for the capital, and therefore, Norway as well. Whoever ruled Akershus fortress ruled Norway.</div><br/>



<div><br><b>The fortress has never been successfully captured by a foreign enemy.</b> It surrendered without combat to Nazi Germany in 1940 when the Norwegian government evacuated the capital in the face of the unprovoked German assault on Denmark and Norway (see Operation WeserÃƒÂ¢bung). During World War II, several people were executed here by the German occupiers. After the war, eight Norwegian traitors who had been tried for war crimes and sentenced to death were also executed at the fortress. Among those executed was Vidkun Quisling.</div><br/>



<div><br><b>Image of the sarcophagi of King Haakon VII, Queen Maud, King Olav V and Crown Princess MÃƒÂ¢rtha.</b> Norwegian Royalty have been buried in the Royal Mausoleum in the castle. They include, King Sigurd I, King Haakon V, Queen Eufemia, King Haakon VII, Queen Maud, King Olav V and Crown Princess MÃƒÂ¢rtha.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Byblos Castle is a castle in Byblos, Lebanon.</b> It was built by the Crusaders in the 12th century from indigenous limestone and the remains of Roman structures. The finished structure was surrounded by a moat. Saladin captured the town and castle in 1188 and dismantled the walls in 1190. Later, the Crusaders recaptured Byblos and rebuilt the ramifications of the castle in 1197. The castle is located at 34 degrees north and 35 degrees east.

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Castle of Thy-le-Chateau is a mediaeval castle located in Namur, Belgium. </b>Originally built in the 12th century, it served as the military fortress for several noble clans until the French Revolution, when it fell into disrepair.[1] The castle was successfully restored in 1939.[</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb With Side Light Frames, 83 1/2"T X 69"W X 9 1/2"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.  When ordering "your door pre hung" the price includes all design drawings for your approval and your choice of finish.</div><br/>

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Castle of Wijnendale is a historically important castle near Wijnendale in West Flanders, Belgium.</b> The present castle is largely a 19th-century reconstruction, but a part of the north-wing is still 15th century. Counts of Flanders and Namur, 11th -14th century
The first castle was built by Robert I, Count of Flanders, at the end of the 11th century and used as a base for military operations. In the 12th and 13th century, Wijnendale became a regular place of residence for the Counts of Flanders and for Philip, Count of Flanders in particular. In 1297 Guy of Dampierre signed a treaty here with the English King Edward I.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In 1298 Wijnendale was inherited by the Counts of Namur </b>and besieged and damaged in 1302 and 1325. It is probable that Blanka of Namur grew up here and met her future husband Magnus IV of Sweden in 1334. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Jamb With Eyebrow Arch Surround, 120"T X 84"W X 7 1/4"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Arenberg Castle is a castle in Heverlee close to Leuven in Belgium.</b> The site had been the castle of the lords of Heverlee since the 12th century, but this family became impoverished and had to sell the site in 1445 to the CroÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¿ family from Picardy. Willem van CroÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¿ added to the medieval castle, and donated the Celestine monastery in the castle grounds.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Antoon van Croy demolished the medieval castle and completed the current castle in 1515 on the site of a medieval castle</b> of which he destroyed all but one tower. The architectural style is in large part traditionally Flemish, with sandstone window frames and brick walls, though it has been structurally altered since 1515 and has elements of Gothic, Renaissance and Neo Gothic architecture. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The first manned gas-filled balloon flight in history</b> took off from the front lawn of the castle on November 21, 1783; the balloonist was professor Jan Pieter Minckeleers.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb With Functioning Sidelights, 87 1/2"T X 78"W X 7 1/4"Deep.  </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Rumbeke, in West-Vlaanderen, is one of the oldest Renaissance castles of Belgium.</b> Although most of the building was built during the Renaissance period, it became slightly classicistic after its renovation during the 18th century. During those renovations, the adjacent forest, the Sterrebos or the Star Forest, was added. The forest was modeled after the Prater park in Vienna. According to legend, Baldwin Iron Arm, Count of Flanders, kidnapped Judith, the daughter of Charles the Bald in 862 in Senlis and brought her to the fortress that used to be at the very location of where the castle stands now. With the intervention of the Pope, the two lovers married in Auxerre, which then resulted in the creation of the County of Flanders.</div><br/>



<div><br><b>For centuries, the castle was owned by the counts of Thiennes and Limburg Stirum. </b>The castle of Rumbeke suffered several damages during the invasion of Flanders by French king Louis XIV, as well as during the French Revolution and both world wars more than a century later. In fact, during World War I, it was taken over by the Germans and became for a short period of time, <b>the home of the infamous baron Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron, who was credited with shooting down 80 enemy aircraft in his brightly painted red airplane.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle can be seen in the movie 'That Lucky Touch', a comedy which was partially shot in Rumbeke in 1975, starring Roger Moore and Shelley Winters.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Burg GÃƒÂ¢ssing is a castle in southern Burgenland, Austria. On June 30, 1524,</b> the castle was acquired by the BatthyÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡ny family, who retain ownership to this day . Around 1157, a small wooden fort is said to have been built by Count Wolfer, and it is thought though that the first occupants were the Benedictines. The name of "Our Holy Mary of Snow" as the chapel are mentioned in documents dating back to this time, which would indicate that there was at least a crude abbey or monastery at the site.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b> Ownership of the structure later passed to King BÃƒÂ¢la III, </b>who strengthened the original wooden structure with stone walls. Since 1198, GÃƒÂ¢ssing became known as "Novum Castrum", (ÃƒÆ’Ã‚ÂºjvÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡r = New Castle, from which "Ã‹Å“NÃƒÂ¢metÃƒÆ’Ã‚ÂºjvÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡r"Ã¢â€žÂ¢ in Hungarian is taken). 1246 king BÃƒÂ¢la IV for a brief period of time entrusted the castle to the Order of Saint John (1246) and later to his treasurer Mauricius (1263). In 1272 Heinrich II from the dynasty of the "Counts of GÃƒÂ¢ssing" and a descendant of Count Wolfer regained ownership of GÃƒÂ¢ssing. Evidently the family though had been involved in several wars against the royal dynasties. They conducted wild raids and were the cause of widespread unrest in the area. Finally, in 1289/90 Duke Albrecht deprived the counts of GÃƒÂ¢ssing of their power with the permission of Ladislaus IV.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Under Emperor Sigismund the castle went to the dynasty of Cheh de SÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡rÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â³ and LÃƒÂ¢va in 1391.</b> However, their descendants acquired such heavy debt that all their assets had to be mortgaged and in 1458 Nikolaus ÃƒÆ’Ã…Â¡jlaki became owner of the castle and ruler of GÃƒÂ¢ssing.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Modern Castle Structures like "Francis"Ã¢â€žÂ¢ gate", "Adam"Ã¢â€žÂ¢s gate", "Widow's tower" and numerous other towers and bastions still remain today.</b> In 1750 "low built prisons" are mentioned as being a part of the castles plan, and until 1800 a torture chamber existed on the grounds.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

 <center><div><br><div id="red20"><b>Historical Origin And Design Inspiration</b></div></center>


<div><br><b>The Palace of Fontainebleau, located 34.5 miles from the centre of Paris, is one of the largest French royal chÃƒÂ¢teaux. </b> The palace as it is today is the work of many French monarchs, building on a structure of Francis I.  The palace introduced to France the Italian Mannerist style in interior decoration and in gardens, and transformed them in the translation. The French Mannerist style of interior decoration of the 16th century is known as the "Fontainebleau style": it combined sculpture, metalwork, painting, stucco and woodwork, and outdoors introduced the patterned garden parterre. The Fontainebleau style combined allegorical paintings in moulded plasterwork where the framing was treated as if it were leather or paper, slashed and rolled into scrolls and combined with arabesques and grotesques. Fontainbleau ideals of female beauty are Mannerist: a small neat head on a long neck, exaggeratedly long torso and limbs, small high breasts"Ã¢â‚¬Âalmost a return to Late Gothic beauties. The new works at Fontainebleau were recorded in refined and detailed engravings that circulated among connoisseurs and artists. Through the engravings by the "School of Fontainebleau" this new style was transmitted to other northern European centres, Antwerp especially, and Germany, and eventually London.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The older chÃƒÂ¢teau on this site was already used in the latter part of the 12th century by King Louis VII,</b> for whom Thomas Becket consecrated the chapel. Fontainebleau was a favourite residence of Philip Augustus (Philip II) and Louis IX. The creator of the present edifice was Francis I, under whom the architect Gilles le Breton erected most of the buildings of the Cour Ovale, including the Porte DorÃƒÂ¢e, its southern entrance. The king also invited the architect Sebastiano Serlio to France, and Leonardo da Vinci. The Gallery of Francis I, with its frescoes framed in stucco by Rosso Fiorentino, carried out between 1522 and 1540, was the first great decorated gallery built in France. Broadly speaking, at Fontainebleau the Renaissance was introduced to France. The Salle des FÃƒÆ’Ã‚Âªtes, in the reign of Henri II, was decorated by the Italian Mannerist painters, Francesco Primaticcio and NiccolÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â² dell'Abbate. Benvenuto Cellini's "Nymph of Fontainebleau", commissioned for the chÃƒÂ¢teau, is at the Louvre.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Another campaign of extensive construction was undertaken by King Henri II and Catherine de' Medici, who commissioned architects Philibert Delorme and Jean Bullant.</b> To the Fontainebleau of FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois I and Henri II, King Henri IV added the court that carries his name, the Cour des Princes, with the adjoining Galerie de Diane de Poitiers and the Galerie des Cerfs, used as a library. A "second school of Fontainebleau" decorators, less ambitious and original than the first, evolved from these additional projects. Henri IV pierced the wooded park with a 1200m canal (which can be fished today) and ordered the planting of pines, elms and fruit trees. The park stretches of an area more than 80 hectares, enclosed by walls and pierced rectilinear paths. Henri IV's gardener, Claude Mollet, trained at ChÃƒÂ¢teau d'Anet, laid out patterned parterres.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Royal guests of the Bourbon kings were housed at Fontainebleau:</b> Peter the Great of Russia and Christian VII of Denmark, and so, under Napoleon was Pope Pius VII "Ã¢â‚¬Â in 1804 when he came to consecrate the emperor Napoleon, and in 1812"1814, when he was Napoleon's prisoner.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Seneffe or ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Seneffe is an 18th century chÃƒÂ¢teau located in the municipality of Seneffe in the province of Hainaut, Belgium.</b> The chÃƒÂ¢teau is property of the French Community of Belgium and serves as the "Centre de l'orfÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨vrerie de la communautÃƒÂ¢ franÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§aise" which displays a collection of antique (mainly 18th century) silverware.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In 1758 the 'Seigneurie de Seneffe' was bought by Joseph Depestre</b> a Walloon merchant who earned a fortune by selling goods to the Imperial Austrian troops stationed in the Austrian Netherlands. Depestre's new status as a wealthy and influential individual was also confirmed by the acquisition of noble titles such as 'Seigneur de Seneffe' (Lord of Seneffe) and 'Count of Turnhout'. The new castle designed by Laurent-BenoÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â®t Dewez had to match with Depestre's new noble status. It was erected between 1763 and 1768 in a novel neoclassical style. When Joseph Depestre died in 1774 the decoration of the chÃƒÂ¢teau and the embellishment of the park were continued by his widow and his eldest son Joseph II Depestre.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>After the French revolution and the subsequent occupation of the Austrian Netherlands by the French republic the chÃƒÂ¢teau was confiscated (1799).</b> It was bought by a figurehead assigned by the Depestre family and came back into their possession after the ascent of Napoleon as Emperor of the French in 1804. The chÃƒÂ¢teau was sold by Joseph II Depestre's son HonorÃƒÂ¢ in 1837 and bought by the Daminet family. In 1888 it was acquired from them by Baron Goffinet. The last private proprietor was a Belgian banker of Jewish origin, Franz Philipson who bought the 'domaine' in 1909. In the advent of the Second World War the Philippson family fled to the United States. When German troops invaded Belgium in 1940 the chÃƒÂ¢teau was confiscated by the Germans and used as a local headquarter and a summer residence for the German military Governor of Belgium, General Alexander von Falkenhausen. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Burg Hohenwerfen is a castle approximately 40 km south of the Austrian city of Salzburg. </b>The castle is majestically surrounded by the mighty Tennengau and Hagen mountain ranges. The fortification is a "sister" of Festung Hohensalzburg both dated from the 11th century.
Burg Hohenwerfen The former fortification was built in the 11th century as a strategic bulwark atop a 155 meter rock high above the Salzach river and valley. Hohenwerfen served Salzburg's rulers, the prince-archbishops, not only as a military base but also as a residential and hunting retreat.</div><br/> 



<div><br><b>Movies: </b>Burg Hohenwerfen was famously used as the castle 'Schloss Adler' in the film Where Eagles Dare, although the memorable cablecar scenes were filmed using the Feuerkogel-Drahtseilbahn in Ebensee. Hohenwerfen also appears in the background of The Sound of Music during 'Do Re Mi'. It was also used as a French hotel in the movie Just Married.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Castle Leslie, home to an Irish branch of Clan Leslie, is located on a 1,000-acre (4.0 km2) estate adjacent to Glaslough village, 11 km (7 mi) north-east of Monaghan town in County Monaghan, Ireland. The Castle is fashioned in the Scottish Baronial style and was designed by Charles Lanyon and W.H. Lynn in 1870 for Sir John Leslie, 1st Baronet MP.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> It is situated where an earlier castle stood and, therefore, never had a defensive purpose. </b.The house presents a rather dour and austere faÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ade and is sited in such a way so as to mask the gardens to an approaching visitor. To the rear of the house the gardens are relieved by an Renaissance style cloister which links the main house to a single storey wing containing the Library and Billiard Room. In contrast to the exterior designed by W.H. Lynn, the interior shows the hands of Lanyon and John Leslie himself through its strong Italian Renaissance feel.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Castle Leslie hit the headlines in 2002 when Sir Paul McCartney married Heather Mills in the family church located on the estate,</b> followed by a wedding banquet for 300 guests prepared by then Executive chef Noel McMeel. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Beersel, is located in the Belgian town of Beersel, south of Brussels.</b> It has 3 ponderous watchtowers, and is surrounded by a wide moat. The castle was first mentioned in the 12th century but the present fortress was constructed by Godfrey of Hellebeek between 1300 and 1310 as a defense base for Brussels. The castle was damaged during the war of succession of Brabant (1356-57), but was repaired just after that.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> During the rebellion against Maximilian of Austria, </b>Beersel supported Maximilian, and the castle was sieged, taken and plundered by the Brusselians in 1489. It burnt down and was partially destroyed, but restored after the war. A tiled roof was added in the 17th century, but the castle became unoccupied from the 18th century. In 1818, a cotton factory occupied the site of the fortress. The property passed by a series of marriages to the Stalle, Witthem, Arenberg and Merode families. A member of the latter family donated the castle to the League of Friends of the Castle of Beersel in 1928, which restored it. In 1948.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Castle Roche is a Norman castle located north-west of Dundalk, Co. Louth. It was the seat of the De Verdun family (also spelt De Verdon), who built the castle in 1236 AD. </b>
Rohesia de Verdun from Alton, Staffordshire, England was married to Theobald "le Butzllen" Le Botiller (Butler). After her husband"Ã¢â€žÂ¢s sudden death whist travelling in Poitou, France, she moved to her lands in Ireland. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>She immediately set about fortifying the land with a castle. However, her quick tempered reputation deterred all potential architects. She then offered her hand in marriage (and thereby a share in her wealth) to the man who would build the castle to her liking.</b> Local legend has it, after their wedding banquet in the newly completed castle, she invited her husband to the bridal suite and urged him to view their estate from the large bedroom window. Taking no chances with the castle"Ã¢â€žÂ¢s secrets, she promptly pushed her new husband from the window, where he plummeted towards his death. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb, 87 1/2"T X 40"W X 6 1/2"Deep.</b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The Donjon de Maurepas is a ruined medieval castle in the town of Maurepas, in the French dÃƒÂ¢partement of Yvelines (ÃƒÅ½le de France).</b> Since the 8th century, the village of Maurepas (formerly spelled Malrepast) belonged to the Abbey of Saint-Denis. Facing the Normans invasions, they left the domain to the Lords of Chevreuse; the castle was given to the family of Malrepast. 
During the Hundred Years' War, the Lords of Malrepast abandoned the castle; it was then used as a haunt by a band of plunderers. In 1425, the English captured and hung all the occupants of the castle.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Plessis-lez-Tours is a Renaissance chateau located in the town of La Riche in the Indre-et-Loire Department,in the Loire Valley of France.</b> It was the favorite residence of King Louis XI of France, who died there on August 30, 1483. It was also the scene of the first meeting between King Henry III of France and the future King Henry IV of France.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The present building is only a small part of the chÃƒÂ¢teau originally built by Louis XI in the 15th century. </b>The original chateau had three wings in the shape of a U. The room where Louis XI died can be visited. It has wooden panelling in the style called 'napkin folds' popular in the 15th century. The first floor has paintings and sculpture devoted to St. Francis of Paola, whom Louis XI summoned to live near him until his death. Inside the chateau is a display of iron cages which were suspended from the ceiling and used to hold prisoners. The cages were so small that the prisoners were unable to stand.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau d'Angers is a castle in the city of Angers, in the dÃƒÂ¢partement of Maine-et-Loire, in France.</b> The fortress of Angers, on a rocky ridge overhanging the river Maine, was one of the sites inhabited by the Romans because of its strategic defensive location. In the 9th century, the fortress came under the authority of the powerful Counts of Anjou, becoming part of the Angevin empire of the Plantagenet Kings of England during the 12th century. In 1204, the region was conquered by Philip II and an enormous chÃƒÂ¢teau was built by his grandson, Louis IX ("Saint Louis") in the early part of the 13th century.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nearly 600 m (2,000 ft) in circumference, and protected by seventeen massive towers,</b> the walls of the chÃƒÂ¢teau encompass 6.17 acres (25,000 mÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â²). In 1352, John II le Bon, gave the chÃƒÂ¢teau to his son, Louis I. Married to the daughter of the wealthy Duke of Brittany, Louis had the chÃƒÂ¢teau modified, and in 1373 commissioned the famous Apocalypse Tapestry from the painter Hennequin de Bruges and the Parisian tapestry-weaver Nicolas Bataille.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Inside ChÃƒÂ¢teau d'Angers, taken from atop the castle Louis II (Louis I's son) and Yolande d'Aragon added a chapel (1405"12),</b> and royal apartments to the complex. The chapel is a sainte chapelle, the name given to churches which enshrined a relic of the Passion. The relic at Angers was a splinter of the fragment of the True Cross which had been acquired by Louis IX.</div><br/>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Roncolo Castle (Italian: Castel Roncolo; German: Schloss Runkelstein) is located on a rocky spur in the territory of Ritten/Renon, near the city of Bolzano in the province of Bolzano, Italy. </b>The castle was built in 1237 by the brothers Friedrich and Beral von Wangen (Vanga).
In 1274 it was damaged by a siege by Meinhard II of Tirol, who entrusted it to Gottschalk Knoger. The castle was rebuilt from the 1380s, when it received its fresco decorations by unknown masters; its murals from this period depict scenes from Der Pleier's romance Garel. Later it was acquired by Sigismund of Austria. In 1463-1465 it was the seat of the Prince-Bishops of Trento.</div><br/>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teaux de Lastours (in Occitan Lastors) are four so-called Cathar castles in the French commune of Lastours in the dÃƒÂ¢partement of l'Aude. The four castles are on a rocky spur above the village of Lastours, isolated by the deep valleys of the Orbeil and GrÃƒÂ¢silhou rivers.</div><br/>
<div><br><b>In the Middle Ages, the site belonged to the lords of Cabaret, mentioned for the first time in 1067. </b>Their wealth came mainly from the exploitation of iron mines. Probably only three castles were built in the 11th century and their sites evolved over the years following demolition and successive rebuilding. During this period, there were at least 22 lords of Cabaret.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castles lived through the Albigensian crusade.</b> Indeed, the lords of Cabaret were closely linked to the followers of Catharism. The villages surrounding the castles welcomed many Cathars. The fortress at this time belonged to Pierre-Roger de Cabaret follower of Raymond-Roger de Trencavel, who fought at his side during the defence of Carcassonne. In 1209, the site resisted the attacks of Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester. But the crusader Bouchard de Marly, then lord of the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Saissac, was taken prisoner by Pierre-Roger. His freedom was negotiated against the surrender of Cabaret in 1211.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Liechtenstein Castle is a castle located near Maria Enzersdorf south of Vienna. </b>It is located on the edge of the Wienerwald (Viennese Forest). The castle, originally built during the 12th century, was destroyed by the Ottomans in 1529 and 1683, and remained in ruins until 1884, when it was rebuilt. Liechtenstein ("bright stone") Castle is the origin of the name of the Liechtenstein family, the ruling house of the country of the same name, which owned the castle from at least 1140 until the 13th century and again from 1807 onwards.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In  Structural Jamb, 83 1/2"T X 40"W X 7 1/2"Deep.</b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb 99 1/2"T X 52"W X 6"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>he Castle of Thy-le-Chateau is a mediaeval castle located in Namur, Belgium.</b> Originally built in the 12th century, it served as the military fortress for several noble clans until the French Revolution, when it fell into disrepair. The castle was successfully restored in 1939.

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Skopje Fortress (Macedonian: &#1057;&#1082;&#1086;&#1087;&#1089;&#1082;&#1086; &#1050;&#1072;&#1083;&#1077;, transliterated Skopsko Kale), commonly referred to as Kale Fortress,</b> or simply Kale (from the Turkish word for 'fortress'), is a historic fortress located in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia situated on the highest point in the city overlooking the Vardar River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The first fortress, was built amidst the 6th century A.D.,</b> on land that had been inhabited during the Neolithic and Bronze ages or roughly 4000 B.C. It was constructed with yellow limestone and travertine and along with fragments of Latin inscriptions, assert the idea that the fortress originated from the Roman city of Skupi, which was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 518.</div><br/>
<div><br><b>The fortress is thought to have been reconstructed during the rule of emperor Justinian I and constructed further during the 10th and 11th centuries</b> over the remains of emperor Justinian's Byzantine fortress which may have been destroyed due to a number of wars and battles in the region, such as that of the uprising of the Bulgarian Empire against the Byzantine Empire under the rule of Peter Delyan. Not much is known about the Medieval fortress apart from a few documents which outline minor characteristics in the fortress' appearance.</div><br/>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Bouchout Castle (Kasteel van Bouchout in Dutch)</b> is a castle in the Flemish town of Meise, Belgium, and has its origins in the 12th century. The domain surrounding the castle is now the location of the National Botanic Garden of Belgium. The most well-known inhabitant of the castle was Carlota, Empress of Mexico, sister of Leopold II, King of Belgium and widow of Maximilian I of Mexico, who was executed in 1867. Charlotte lived in the castle for most of her life.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Jehay-BodegnÃƒÂ¢e is situated in the municipality of Amay near LiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨ge in Belgium.</b> Since the end of the 17th-century the castle has been the propriety of the Counts van den Steen de Jehay. After the decease of the last Count van den Steen in 1999 the castle and its collections were definitively acquired by the province of LiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨ge. Most part of the current chÃƒÂ¢teau dates from the beginning of the 16th-century. Of its medieval predecessor only some vaulted basements of the former keep, dating from the XIII century, remain. In the 19th-century the castle was extensively renovated and extended by the famous architect Alphonse Balat in a sober Gothic Revival style. The castle still functions as the residence of Count van den Steen. The beautifully decorated interior houses a collection of fine antique furniture, musical instruments, tapestry, paintings and other art objects.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Ashford Castle is a medieval castle near Cong in County Mayo, Ireland on the shore of Lough Corrib. </b>The castle was built in 1228 by the Anglo-Norman de Burgo family following their defeat of the O'Connors, the Royal House of Connacht, who are still extant in the person of the O Connor Donn.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>After more than three and a half centuries under the de Burgos</b>, Ashford passed into the hands of a new master, following a fierce battle between the forces of the de Burgo's and those of the English official Sir Richard Bingham, Lord President of Connaught, when a truce was agreed. The castle fell to Bingham in 1589 who added a fortified enclave within its precincts. In 1715 the estate of Ashford was established by the Browne Family (Baron Oranmore) and a lodge in the style of a 17th Century French chateau was added to the medieval splendour of the castle.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Saissac is a Cathar castle in the southernmost tip of the commune of Saissac in the Aude dÃƒÂ¢partement in the north-west of Carcassonne, France.</b> It was once the residence of the powerful vassal family of Trencavel.  The castle domiates the rocky headland and the ravine of Vernassonne, at an important strategic position at the entry of the Montagne noire. Based on historical texts, it can be dated back to at least 960. It was bequeathed by the bishop of Toulouse to the Count of Carcassonne. In the 11th century, the castle was pledged to powerful vassals in the country. They formed a junior branch under the counts of Foix who formed at the time the lineage of Saissac.


<div><br><b> It is important all the same to note the presence of a castrum under the current caste, probably dating from the 11th century, though its origin can go back to the time of the Visigoths. At the time of the Albigensian Crusade in 1229, the lord of Saissac, Bertrand de Saissac, himself a Cathar, was the tutor of Raymond Roger de Trencavel. They were subjugated and stripped of their titles. Bouchard de Marly ordered the seizing of the castle and its goods; it was only later, after 1234, that the castle was restored by Lambert de Thursey, another companion of Montfort.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b><div><br><b>The Castle of Beersel, is located in the Belgian town of Beersel, </b>south of Brussels. It has 3 ponderous watchtowers, and is surrounded by a wide moat. The castle was first mentioned in the 12th century but the present fortress was constructed by Godfrey of Hellebeek between 1300 and 1310 as a defense base for Brussels. The castle was damaged during the war of succession of Brabant (1356-57), but was repaired just after that. During the rebellion against Maximilian of Austria.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Beersel supported Maximilian, and the castle was sieged, taken and plundered by the Brusselians in 1489.</b> It burnt down and was partially destroyed, but restored after the war.
A tiled roof was added in the 17th century. The property passed by a series of marriages to the Stalle, Witthem, Arenberg and Merode families. A member of the latter family donated the castle to the League of Friends of the Castle of Beersel in 1928, which restored it. In 1948. </div><br/>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Buda Castle (Hungarian: Budai VÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡r, Turkish: Budin Kalesi) is the historical castle of the Hungarian kings in Budapest, Hungary.</b> In the past, it was also called Royal Palace (Hungarian: KirÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡lyi-palota) and Royal Castle (Hungarian: KirÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡lyi VÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡r). Buda Castle was built on the southern tip of Castle Hill, next to the old Castle District (Hun: VÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡rnegyed), which is famous about its medieval, Baroque and 19th century houses and public buildings. It is linked to Adam Clark Square and the SzÃƒÂ¢chenyi Chain Bridge by the Castle Hill Funicular.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The first royal residence on the Castle Hill was built by King BÃƒÂ¢la IV of Hungary between 1247 and 1265.</b> Buda Castle during the Middle Ages. From the Chronicles of Hartmann Schedel The oldest part of the present-day palace was built in the 14th century by Prince Stephen, Duke of Slavonia, the younger brother of King Louis I of Hungary. The Gothic palace of King Louis I was arranged around a narrow courtyard next to Stephen's Tower.</div><br/>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Doe Castle or Caislean na dTuath, near Creeslough, Co. Donegal was historically a stronghold of Clan Suibhne,</b> with Architectural parallels to the Scottish Tower house. Built in the 16th c. it is one of the better preserved fortalices in the North-West of Ireland. It was here that Owen Roe O'Neill returned in 1642 to lead the Irish Confederate Army during the Wars of the three kingdoms.
Irish singer Brian McFadden proposed to his, now ex-wife Kerry Katona at the Castle in 2001, being the spot where his grandfather also proposed to his grandmother.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Eltz Manor (Croatian: Dvorac Eltz) is a castle in Vukovar, Croatia.</b> It was originally built between the period of 1749 to 1751 by the House of Eltz and was gradually extended over time.  The manor suffered a great deal of damage during Croatian War of Independence. The manor, as it previously appeared, is on the backside of the Croatian 20 kuna currency.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>
Amalienborg Palace (Danish: Amalienborg, IPA: ) is the winter home of the Danish royal family, and is located in Copenhagen, Denmark.</b> It consists of four identical classicizing palace faÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard (Amalienborg Slotsplads); in the center of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederik V.</div><br/>

Amalienborg was originally built for four noble families;</b> however, when Christiansborg Castle burnt down on 26 February 1794, the royal family bought the palaces and moved in. Over the years various kings and their families have resided in the four different palaces.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Amalienborg is the centerpiece of Frederiksstaden, a district that was built by King Frederik V to commemorate in 1748</b> the tercentenary of the Oldenburg family's ascent to the throne of Denmark, and in 1749 the tercentenary of the coronation of Christian I of Denmark. This development is generally thought to have been the brainchild of Danish Ambassador Plenipotentiary in Paris, Johann Hartwig Ernst Bernstorff.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Heading the project was Lord High Steward Adam Gottlob Moltke,</b> one of the most powerful and influential men in the land, with Nicolai Eigtved as royal architect and supervisor. Frederiksstaden, which was planned as a fashionable district for the city's most important citizens, became a fine example of European Baroque architecture.

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In  With Eyebrow Arch. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Barnard Castle is a  medieval castle situated in the town of the same name in County Durham.</b> A stone castle was built on the site of an earlier defended position from around 1095 to 1125 by Guy de Baliol. Between 1125 and 1185 his nephew Bernard de Baliol and his son Bernard II extended the building. In 1216 the castle was besieged by Alexander II, King of Scotland. It was still held by the Baliol family although its ownership was disputed by the Bishops of Durham. When John Baliol was deposed as King of Scotland in 1296 the castle was passed to the Bishop of Durham.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Around 1300 Edward I granted it to the Earl of Warwick.</b> In the 15th century the castle passed by marriage to the Neville family. In 1477 during the Wars of the Roses, Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III) took possession of the castle, which became one of his favourite residences.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Castel del Monte is a comune in the Province of L'Aquila in Abruzzo, Italy. Located in the heart of Italy's Gran Sasso,</b> the medieval hill town is set into a steep hillside nestled beneath mountain peaks near the high plain of Campo Imperatore. The name Castel del Monte is from the Latin "Castellum de Montis" or fortress down from the mountains. The first evidence of human settlement are artifacts from the 11th century B.C.discovered in the valley beneath Castel del Monte and believed to be from an ancient necropolis. In the 4th century BC, Romans conquered the area and established CittÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â  delle Tre Corone, the name meaning "fortified town behind three walls". This town was later abandoned because of the Goth Migrations or Barbarian Invasions and replaced by the fortified town of Ricetto in what is now the oldest part of Castel del Monte.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Porta San Rocco, the main gate to historic Castel del Monte, until the end of the 19th Century, the town's five gates were shut each night to keep out bandits.</b> The first recorded mention of Castellum Del Monte came in 1223 in a papal bull by Pope Honorius III. In 1298, the Counts of Aquaviva took possession of the town. In 1474, it passed to Alessandro Sforza and a short time later to the Piccolominis. In 1501, forces loyal to Spain plundered Castel del Monte because of the town's allegiance to France.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The Castillo de San Pedro de la Roca (also known by the less formal title of Castillo del Morro or as San Pedro de la Roca Castle) is a fortress on the coast of the Cuban city of Santiago de Cuba.  </b> It was designed in 1637 by Giovan Battista Antonelli (also known as Juan Battista Antonelli), a member of a Milanese family of military engineers, on behalf of the governor of the city, Pedro de la Roca y Borja, as a defense against raiding pirates, although an earlier, smaller, fortification had been built between 1590 and 1610. Antonelli design was adapted to the situation of the fortress on the steep sides of the promontory (the morro from which the fortress gets its name) reaching into the bay.</div><br/>


<div><br><b> It was constructed on a series of terraces; there were four main levels and three large bulwarks to house the artillery.</b> Supplies would be delivered by sea and then stored in the large warehouse, which was cut directly into the rock, or transported up to the top level which housed the citadel. Construction of the citadel took 42 years, starting in 1638 and finally being completed in 1700, though work on the fortification was spasmodic. Antonelli was recalled to Cuba in 1645, shortly after the massive project was started, and other examples of his work can be seen there in the twin forts of Fuerte del Cojimar and Fuerte de Santa Doratea de Luna de Chorrera. Some of the structures from the earlier fortification were later incorporated into the main structure.

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Franchimont Castle is a medieval castle in the municipality of Theux in Belgium.</b> It sits at the western end of a small hill overlooking the village of Franchimont. It is thought to have originally been built in the 11th Century, as a stronghold of the Principality of LiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨ge. The original building was extended several times during the middle ages, once after a fire in 1387.
In 1487 the castle was besieged, and around the same period the La Marck family took ownership of it. In the early 16th Century the outer wall was built, with casemates and an artillery tower added.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb, 87 1/2"T X 40"W X 6 1/2"Deep.</b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

The castle withstood three massive sieges from the Turks, both times its garrison was even smaller than the one at Constantinople usually no bigger than 2,000"3,000 men.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau des AdhÃƒÂ¢mar stands on a hill in the centre of the French town of MontÃƒÂ¢limar in the DrÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â´me dÃƒÂ¢partement.</b> Its origins are found in the 11th century when the first castle was built by the Count of Toulouse, the Duke of Narbonne. </div><br/>

 In the second half of the 12th century it became the property of the AdhÃƒÂ¢mar de Monteil family,</b> lords of Rochemaure, later lords of Grignan, then at the height of their power. The palace they built substantially exists today. In the 14th century, it was taken by the papacy, joining the Pope's castles until 1447, when MontÃƒÂ¢limar was returned to the kingdom of France. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Simontornya Castle is a Renaissance castle in Simontornya, Hungary.</b>
The Tower was built in the 13th century by Simon (Son of Salamon) among the swamps of the SiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â³ river, the name Simontornya means Simon's Tower. Nearly all owners of the castle made some alterations throughout the centuries. The Lackfi's built a new gothic wing in the 14th century, altered the old Tower, and added an arcaded loggia to the back-front. After the extinction of the Garai family in 1482, the castle again belonged to Queen Beatrix, wife of Matthias Corvinus.</div><br/>



<div><br><b>MÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â³zes Buzlay, marshall of King UlÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡szlÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â³ II improved the castle into a renaissance palace with the help of Italian masters and craftsmen from Buda.</b> After his death the castle was taken over by the Turks in 1545. This event marked the beginning of a new era with an emphasis on military requirements. During the nearly 150 years of occupation minor alterations were made.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Dronninglund Castle is located in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, Denmark.</b> Its history goes back to the 12th century, when it was a Benedictine monastery. After the last nuns left it in 1581, it was first owned by the Lindenow family. In 1690, Queen Charlotte Amalie acquired it. It is from her the palace takes its name: Queens Forrest.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de CandÃƒÂ¢ is a castle located in the commune of Monts, Indre-et-Loire, 10 km (6 mi) to the south of Tours on the border of the dÃƒÂ¢partement of Indre in France.</b>
The first known Lord of CandÃƒÂ¢ was MacÃƒÂ¢ de LarÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ay, in 1313. FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois BriÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§onnet, the mayor of Tours and state treasurer, purchased the fief in 1499 and built a Renaissance house on the site of the old fortress. He died before the building was finished, and it was completed by his daughter, Jeanne, in 1508.
<div><br><b>Several owners succeeded to the estate, but none brought major transformations to the castle. </b>According to terms of a sale contract dated 28 June 1715 between Georges-FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois de GuÃƒÂ¢nand, seigneur de l'ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Â°tang and Pierre Anguille de la NiverdiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨re, the land consisted of a chÃƒÂ¢teau-fort, enclosed walls, ditches, drawbridge, barns, gardens, orchards, vines, mature wood of standing timbers and coppice, wild rabbits, and many other things.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Castle of Jehay-Bodegne is situated in the municipality of Amay near Lige in Belgium.</b> Since the end of the 17th-century the castle has been the propriety of the Counts van den Steen de Jehay. After the decease of the last Count van den Steen in 1999 the castle and its collections were definitively acquired by the province of LiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨ge.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Most part of the current chateau dates from the beginning of the 16th-century.</b> Of its medieval predecessor only some vaulted basements of the former keep, dating from the XIII century, remain. In the 19th-century the castle was extensively renovated and extended by the famous architect Alphonse Balat in a sober Gothic Revival style. The castle still functions as the residence of Count van den Steen. The beautifully decorated interior houses a collection of fine antique furniture, musical instruments, tapestry, paintings and other art objects.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The Chateau de Quaribus (in Occitan Castel de Queribas) is a castle in the commune of Cucugnan in the Aude departement of France.</b> Queribus is one of the "Five Sons of Carcassonne", along with Aguilar, Peyrepertuse, Termes and Puilaurens: five castles strategically placed to defend the new (1659) French border against the Spanish. It is sometimes regarded as the last Cathar stronghold. After the fall of Montsegur in 1244 surviving Cathars gathered together in another mountain-top stronghold on the border of Aragon (the present border between the Aude and the Pyrees-Orientales).</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In 1255 a French army was dispatched to deal with these remaining Cathars,</b> but they slipped away without a fight, probably to Aragon or Piedmont - both regions where Cathar beliefs were still common, and where the Occitan language was spoken.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>A Green Man is a sculpture, drawing, or other representation of a face surrounded by or made from leaves.</b> Branches or vines may sprout from the nose, mouth, nostrils or other parts of the face and these shoots may bear flowers or fruit. Commonly used as a decorative architectural ornament, Green Men are frequently found on carvings in churches and other buildings (both secular and ecclesiastical). "The Green Man" is also a popular name for English public houses and various interpretations of the name appear on inn signs, which sometimes show a full figure rather than just the head.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>The Green Man motif has many variations. Found in many cultures around the world,</b> the Green Man is often related to natural vegetative deities springing up in different cultures throughout the ages. Primarily it is interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, or "renaissance," representing the cycle of growth each spring. Some speculate that the mythology of the Green Man developed independently in the traditions of separate ancient cultures and evolved into the wide variety of examples found throughout history.</div><br/> 


<div><br><b>A medieval Green Man on the capital of a column or door in an English church.</b>
Usually referred to in works on architecture as foliate heads or foliate masks, carvings of the Green Man may take many forms, naturalistic or decorative. The simplest depict a man's face peering out of dense foliage. Some may have leaves for hair, perhaps with a leafy beard. Often leaves or leafy shoots are shown growing from his open mouth and sometimes even from the nose and eyes as well. In the most abstract examples, the carving at first glance appears to be merely stylised foliage, with the facial element only becoming apparent on closer examination. The face is almost always male; green women are rare. Green cats, lions and demons are also found. On gravestones and other memorials, human skulls are sometimes shown sprouting grape vines or other vegetation, presumably as a symbol of resurrection.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>The Green Man appears in many forms; </b>the three most common types have been categorized as: the Foliate Head - completely covered in leaves
the Disgorging Head - spews vegetation from its mouthThe term "Green Man" was coined by Lady Raglan.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Castello del Buonconsiglio is a castle in Trento, northern Italy.</b> The Castle originated from a fortified building erected in the 13th century next to the city's walls. This first edifice was called Castelvecchio ("Old Castle"), and was the seat of the Bishopric of Trent from the 13th century onwards. Bishop George of Liechtenstein was the first to enlarge the castle, in the late 14th century, turning it into a well-styled residence.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>The Castelvecchio was further modified by Johannes Hinderbach, who had the double loggiato and the Gothic entrance gate built.</b> In the first decades of the 16th century Bishop Bernardo Clesio had a new residence, called Palazzo Magno ("Grand Palace") built in Renaissance style alongside the old castle.  The Castle of Buonconsiglio remained the seat of the Prince-Bishops until 1803. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The interior halls have precious frescoes, including those in the Torre Aquila ("Eagle Tower"), which are one of the most noteworthy examples of International Gothic art in Europe:</b> they represent the "Cycle of the Months" (15th century) and were made by an unknown artist from Bohemia. The cycle is interesting also for its accurate portrayal of the landscape, the economic activities, the habits and the fashion of Medieval Trentino. The walls of Torre del Falco (late 16th century) have frescoes with hunting scenes, also a rare example of German landscape painting in northern Italy.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Castello del Buonconsiglio is a castle in Trento, northern Italy.</b> The Castle originated from a fortified building erected in the 13th century next to the city's walls. This first edifice was called Castelvecchio ("Old Castle"), and was the seat of the Bishopric of Trent from the 13th century onwards. Bishop George of Liechtenstein was the first to enlarge the castle, in the late 14th century, turning it into a well-styled residence.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>The Castelvecchio was further modified by Johannes Hinderbach, who had the double loggiato and the Gothic entrance gate built.</b> In the first decades of the 16th century Bishop Bernardo Clesio had a new residence, called Palazzo Magno ("Grand Palace") built in Renaissance style alongside the old castle.  The Castle of Buonconsiglio remained the seat of the Prince-Bishops until 1803. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The interior halls have precious frescoes, including those in the Torre Aquila ("Eagle Tower"), which are one of the most noteworthy examples of International Gothic art in Europe:</b> they represent the "Cycle of the Months" (15th century) and were made by an unknown artist from Bohemia. The cycle is interesting also for its accurate portrayal of the landscape, the economic activities, the habits and the fashion of Medieval Trentino. The walls of Torre del Falco (late 16th century) have frescoes with hunting scenes, also a rare example of German landscape painting in northern Italy.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>Castello Ursino is a castle in Catania, Sicily, southern Italy. Built circa from 1239 to 1250, it belonged to Emperor Frederick II, King of Sicily, and was considered impregnable at the time.</b> In 1295, during the Sicilian Vespers, the Parliament which declared deposed James II of Aragon as King of Sicily, replacing him with Frederick III, was held here. The following year it was captured by Robert of Anjou but was later again in Aragonese hands. King Frederick III resided in the castle, as well as his successors Peter II, Louis, Frederick IV and Mary. Here the latter was kidnapped by William Raymond Moncada to avoid her marriage with Gian Galeazzo Visconti (1392). King Martin I held also his court in the castle.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>When the castle was first built, it was on a cliff looking out to sea,</b> however as the result of volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes, it is now a kilometre inland. The castle's former moat too in the 17th century was filled with lava from an eruption by Mount Etna.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb With Side Lights And Transom, 100 1/2"T X 74"W X 4 1/2"Deep.  </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Belcastel is a medieval castle in the village and commune of Belcastel, on the north bank of the Aveyron River, downstream from Rodez in the Aveyron dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.</b> The oldest part of the Chateau was constructed in the 9th century, and it grew at the hands of the Belcastel family. Later, for many decades, it was the seat of the famed Saunhac family.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> The famous French architect Fernand Pouillon (1912-1986) discovered the castle in ruins in 1974. </b>Pouillon decided to reconstruct the fortress, which had been abandoned since at least the 17th century. Pouillon himself undertook the restoration by hand, along with the help of a dozen Algerian stone masons, and 10 stained-glass experts. The work lasted only 8 years and called for great courage from him and his colleagues, due to the enormity of the undertaking, the chÃƒÂ¢teau's dangerous location, and the fact that no machines were used in the daring reconstruction.
Pouillon also undertook the restoration of the village, which is now recognised with the award of the title of "Un des plus beaux villages de France" ("One of the most beautiful villages in France").</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de MontbÃƒÂ¢liard (Castle of Montbeliard), also known as the ChÃƒÂ¢teau des ducs de WÃƒÂ¢rttemberg (Castle of the Dukes of WÃƒÂ¢rttemberg) is a fortress located on an outcropping rock that surveys the town of MontbÃƒÂ¢liard in the Doubs dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.</b> It is believed that there has been a fortress on the site since the Gallo-Roman times, though then it was only a wooden watchtower acting as an observation post for the defence of the town of Mandeure (Epomanduodurum). Until 1397, the castle belonged to the Montfaucon family. The marriage of Henriette d'Orbe to Eberhard IV, son of the count Eberhard III of WÃƒÂ¢rttemberg, transferred the ownership of the castle to the WÃƒÂ¢rttemberg family.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>MontbÃƒÂ¢liard is the birthplace of:</b> Nicolaus Taurellus (1547-1606), philosopher and theologian Nicolas Tournier (1590-ca. 1638), painter Wolf Christoph Zorn von Plobsheim (1655-1721), architect (de:Wolf Christoph Zorn von Plobsheim) Georges Cuvier (1769-1832), naturalist and zoologist Alexander of WÃƒÂ¢rttemberg (1771-1833) FrÃƒÂ¢dÃƒÂ¢ric Cuvier (1773-1838), zoologist and physisist Henri Mouhot (1826-1861), naturalist RenÃƒÂ¢ Thom (1923"2002), mathematician

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

 <center><div><br><div id="red20"><b>Historical Origin And Design Inspiration</b></div></center>


<div><br><b>Forchtenstein Castle is a castle built in the late Middle Ages near the municipality of Forchtenstein in northern Burgenland, Austria.</b> The first part of the castle with its 50 meter high keep was built in the beginning of the 15th century by the Lords of Mattersburg, who later named themselves Lords of Forchtenstein. Around 1450 the Lords of Forchtenstein died off due to lack of a male heir and the castle was passed over to the House of Habsburg, which owned it for 170 years. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>In 1622 Nikolaus EsterhÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡zy, founder of the western Hungarian EsterhÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡zy line, received the castle from Emperor Ferdinand II, and EsterhÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡zy became a Count. </b>Nikolaus started to fortify the crumbling castle and refurbished it with the services of Vienna builder Simon Retacco from 1630 to 1634 and with Domenico Carlone from 1643. The construction workers were all from Italy.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>This led to big orders for three masters of Kaisersteinbruch, the imperial quarry: </b>Ambrosius Petruzzy, Pietro Maino Maderno, and Mathias Lorentisch. Kaiserstein stone was used for the main portals, fountains, cannonballs, etc. Once hewn the stone was delivered on large wagons drawn by six oxen. In the second half of the 17th century his son Paul further extended and ornamented the castle with architect Domenico Carlone. After Paul's death the castle's function changed. It became a repository for weapons, archives, chronometers, machines, exotic animal preparations and other "marvels".</div><br/>

<div><br><b> The only access to the treasure vault was a secret passage leading to a door requiring two different keys used together.</b> One key was kept by the Count and the other by his treasurer. In the second half of the 18th century the castle was extended by master builder Ferdinand MÃƒÂ¢dlhammer. During this work the roof truss was lifted and the interior was renovated.
The treasure vault remained undiscovered and intact throughout World War II. The original glass-paned cabinets containing the collection are works of art in themselves.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre-Hung In Structural Jamb With Semi Arched Surround, 113"T X 76 1/2"W X 8"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>Castel del Monte (Italian: Castle of the Mount) is a 13th century castle situated in the Apulia region of southeast Italy.</b> It was built by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II some time between 1240 and 1250;</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Castel del Monte is situated on a small hill close to the monastery of Santa Maria del Monte, at an altitude of 540 m. It lies in the comune of Andria,</b> occupying the site of an earlier fortress of which no structural remains exist. It was completed in 1249 and was used primarily as a hunting lodge by Frederick until his death in 1250.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Double Jamb With Full Arch, 112"T X 94"W X 5 1/2"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau d'Ancy-le-Franc, designed by Sebastiano Serlio and constructed 1544-1550, is one of the sites where the Italian Renaissance was introduced, full-blown, to France. </b>The patron was Antoine de Clermont, comte de Tonnerre, the brother-in-law of Diane de Poitiers and a courtier of FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois I. The site in the canton of Ancy-le-Franc near Tonnerre in Burgundy he inherited from his mother. He demolished the old chÃƒÂ¢teau-fort and used some of its foundations. The new structure was symmetrical: four ranges enclose a central court, and at each corner a pavilion was erected. Though it was never expected to be defensible, French tradition ran so strong that it was surrounded by a moat.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> The exteriors of the ranges have a rusticated ground storey, Doric pilasters, niches on the piano nobile. </b>In the central court, an unbroken corbelled cornice runs above two storeys, where rectangular windows alternate with shell-headed niches that are flanked by double pilasters with Corinthian capitals. Niches that span the corners are an anomaly. On the ground floor the fenestration is in blind arcading. The main door, approached by a flight of steps has a typically Serlian runsticated arch, crammed tightly between pilasters.</div><br/>


 <center><div><br><div id="red16"><b>You May Order: The Door Blade Only - A Complete Entry Unit - Straight Top - Eyebrow Arch Top - Full Arch Top - Single Door - Double Doors - Exterior Doors - Interior Doors - Any Size And Style.</b></div></center>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung Structural Double Jamb, 87 1/2"T X 38"W X 7"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Blackrock Castle is a 16th century castle located about 2km from the heart of Cork city on the banks of the River Lee. </b>Blackrock Castle with Observatory In the late 16th century, the citizens of Cork appealed to Queen Elizabeth I to construct a fort at Blackrock to "repel pirates and other invaders". In or around 1600, a round tower was constructed to safeguard against pirates "carrying away" vessels entering the harbour. Earliest remains today are a circular tower right on the water's edge, 10.5m in diameter, with walls 2.2m thick to withstand cannons.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Blackrock Castle was in the ownership of the City of Cork following a charter of James I to the City in 1608. </b>The castle is later referred to in the Council Book of Cork in 1613 and 1614. In 1722 the old four-storey tower was destroyed by fire and new one built by the citizens, costing Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£296.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb, 83 1/2"T X 46"W X 5 1/2"Deep.</b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.  When ordering "your door pre hung" the price includes all design drawings for your approval and your choice of finish.</div><br/>

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>All Steel Is Coal Fired, Hammered By Master Blacksmiths <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> And Patina Finished.</b>
At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Rising three storeys tall, in an idyllic setting on the banks of Lough Gill, in County Leitrim in Ireland, Parke"Ã¢â€žÂ¢s Castle is a plantation era castle.</b> In 1610 Roger Parke completed his fortified manor house on the site of an earlier fifteenth-century O'Rourke (UÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â­ Ruairc) castle. He kept the walls of the original bawn - a spacious pentagonal defensive area - and demolished the O'Rourke tower house in the centre. The stones of O"Ã¢â€žÂ¢Rourke"Ã¢â€žÂ¢s tower were used to build the three-storey manor on the eastern side, eventually adorned with mullioned windows,doors and diamond-shaped chimneys.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de la Madeleine is a castle located in the town of Chevreuse, in the French dÃƒÂ¢partement of Yvelines (ÃƒÅ½le de France).</b> it was built on the top of a hill and dominates the town. The name comes from the chapel of the castle, dedicated to Sainte Marie-Madeleine.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The construction of the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de la Madeleine began between 1020 and 1090, under Guy I, lord of Chevreuse.</b> The objective was to protect the village of Chevreuse against pillage.  At this time, the keep was surrounded by a wooden palisade; this palisade was replaced by stone curtain walls during the 12th century. One century later, probably under the reign of Anseau de Chevreuse, the castle was modified, notably with the construction of the machicolations. The gatehouse was protected by a moat; the water was retained by a dam for domestic use.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The Castello del Buonconsiglio is a castle in Trento, northern Italy.</b> The Castle originated from a fortified building erected in the 13th century next to the city's walls. This first edifice was called Castelvecchio ("Old Castle"), and was the seat of the Bishopric of Trent from the 13th century onwards. Bishop George of Liechtenstein was the first to enlarge the castle, in the late 14th century, turning it into a well-styled residence.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>The Castelvecchio was further modified by Johannes Hinderbach, who had the double loggiato and the Gothic entrance gate built.</b> In the first decades of the 16th century Bishop Bernardo Clesio had a new residence, called Palazzo Magno ("Grand Palace") built in Renaissance style alongside the old castle.  The Castle of Buonconsiglio remained the seat of the Prince-Bishops until 1803. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The interior halls have precious frescoes, including those in the Torre Aquila ("Eagle Tower"), which are one of the most noteworthy examples of International Gothic art in Europe:</b> they represent the "Cycle of the Months" (15th century) and were made by an unknown artist from Bohemia. The cycle is interesting also for its accurate portrayal of the landscape, the economic activities, the habits and the fashion of Medieval Trentino. The walls of Torre del Falco (late 16th century) have frescoes with hunting scenes, also a rare example of German landscape painting in northern Italy.

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Gravensteen is a castle in Ghent originating from the Middle Ages. The name means 'castle of the count' in Dutch.</b> The present castle was built in 1180 by count Philip of Alsace  and was modelled after the crusaders castles the count encountered while he participated in the second crusade. Before its construction, there stood a wooden castle on the same location, presumably built in the ninth century. The castle served as the seat of the Counts of Flanders until they abandoned it in the 14th century. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Gavaudun is a French castle in the village of Gavaudun (Lot-et-Garonne) on the river LÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨de, near the PÃƒÂ¢rigord noir region.</b> It was built on a rocky spur and overhangs the river. The lofty 13th century keep rises 25m above the level of the rock.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>ChÃƒÂ¢teau and village of Gavaudun In the vicinity are the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Bonaguil and the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Biron. </b>The castle was built during the 12th and the 13th centuries, on the main road between PÃƒÂ¢rigord and Agenais. The bishop of PÃƒÂ¢rigueux besieged it and destroyed it for the first time in 1165. During the Hundred Years' War it was of central importance in the conflict between England and France.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau des AdhÃƒÂ¢mar stands on a hill in the centre of the French town of MontÃƒÂ¢limar in the DrÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â´me dÃƒÂ¢partement.</b> Its origins are found in the 11th century when the first castle was built by the Count of Toulouse, the Duke of Narbonne. Little of this remains. In the second half of the 12th century it became the property of the AdhÃƒÂ¢mar de Monteil family, lords of Rochemaure, later lords of Grignan, then at the height of their power. The palace they built substantially exists today.</div><br/>
<div><br><b>In the 14th century, it was taken by the papacy,</b> joining the Pope's castles until 1447, when MontÃƒÂ¢limar was returned to the kingdom of France. The site of many armed conflicts, especially during the Wars of Religion, the castle suffered much damage and was transformed into a citadel, then back to a pleasant residence with the return of more peaceful times. In the 15th century it was used as a prison. In the middle of the 16th century, Louis AdhÃƒÂ¢mar rebuilt in the Renaissance style. During the French Revolution, the chÃƒÂ¢teau was partially destroyed.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Cheverny is located at Cheverny, in the dÃƒÂ¢partement of Loir-et-Cher in the Loire Valley in France.</b> The lands were purchased by Henri Hurault, comte de Cheverny, a lieutenant-general and military treasurer for Louis XI, whose descendent the marquis de Vibraye is the present owner. Lost to the Crown because of fraud to the State, it was donated by King Henri II to his mistress Diane de Poitiers. However, she preferred ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Chenonceau and sold the property to the former owner's son, Philippe Hurault, who built the chÃƒÂ¢teau between 1624 and 1630, to designs by the sculptor-architect of Blois, Jacques Bougier, who was trained in the atelier of Salomon de Brosse, and whose design at Cheverny recalls features of the Palais du Luxembourg. The interiors were completed by the daughter of Henri Hurault and Marguerite, marquise de Montglas, by 1650, employing craftsmen from Blois.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Portrait said to be of Cosimo de' Medici as a boy, attributed to Titian, in the Grand Salon.</b> During the next 150 years ownership passed to many owners, and in 1768 a major interior renovation was undertaken. Required to forfeit much of the Hurault wealth at the time of the French Revolution, the family sold it in 1802, at the height of the Empire but bought it back in 1824, during the Restauration under Charles X. The aristocracy was once again in a very strong political and economic position.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Mouscron (Dutch: Moeskroen) is a Walloon city and municipality located in the Belgian province of Hainaut.</b> The Mouscron municipality includes the old communes of Dottignies (Dottenijs), Luingne, and Herseaux (Herzeeuw).</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Middle Ages A few archaeological discoveries were made in this area proving the existence of settlements during Roman times.</b> The name Dottignies " a village that is now part of Mouscron " appeared for the first time in the 9th century, while that of Mouscron itself appeared only in 1060. In 1066, Baldwin V, Count of Flanders ceded the local buildings and territories to the estate of the church of Saint-Pierre in Lille.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> In 1149 the right to collect tithes in the Mouscron area was ceded partly to the abbey of Saint Martin in Tournai, partly to the chapter of the Tournai Cathedral. </b>The rights to the neighbouring villages of Herseaux and Luingnes " now also part of Mouscron " were also given to the Tournai cathedral in 1178. In the 14th century, the seigneury of Mouscron was eventually sold to a Tournai lord, and in 1430, the local castle became the lord"Ã¢â€žÂ¢s manor, or ChÃƒÂ¢teau des Comtes, which can still be seen today. The future Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor stopped there for dinner on May 27, 1516.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Beersel, is located in the Belgian town of Beersel, south of Brussels.</b> It has 3 ponderous watchtowers, and is surrounded by a wide moat. The castle was first mentioned in the 12th century but the present fortress was constructed by Godfrey of Hellebeek between 1300 and 1310 as a defense base for Brussels. The castle was damaged during the war of succession of Brabant (1356-57), but was repaired just after that.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> During the rebellion against Maximilian of Austria, </b>Beersel supported Maximilian, and the castle was sieged, taken and plundered by the Brusselians in 1489. It burnt down and was partially destroyed, but restored after the war. A tiled roof was added in the 17th century, but the castle became unoccupied from the 18th century. In 1818, a cotton factory occupied the site of the fortress. The property passed by a series of marriages to the Stalle, Witthem, Arenberg and Merode families. A member of the latter family donated the castle to the League of Friends of the Castle of Beersel in 1928, which restored it. In 1948.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf, also known as the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf-en-Auxois, is a 15th century fortress in the commune of ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf, 43 km from Dijon, in the CÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â´te-d'Or dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.</b> It dominates the valley of Canal de Bourgogne.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>The castle was built in 1132 by Jean de Chaudenay for his son Jehan, who took possession of it in 1175 and became Jean I de ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf. </b>Facing the threat of the Hundred Years' War, the lords of ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf then built the powerful fortifications around the 12th century keep. After nine generations in the castle, the reign of the ChÃƒÂ¢teauneufs ended in tragedy when in 1456 the last heiress, Catherine de ChÃƒÂ¢teauneuf, was burnt alive for poisoning her second husband, Jacques d'Haussonville.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In 1457, Philippe le Bon, duke of Burgundy, offered the fortress to his advisor Philippe Pot, also of the Order of the Golden Fleece (French: &#314;'Ordre de la Toison d'or) and a knight of Saint Michael.</b> He then modified the castle to make it more comfortable as a residence, in keeping with the style of the court of the Duchy of Burgundy. A chapel and a residence dated to this time were built out in the court of the castle, in the flamboyant Gothic architectural style. At multiple places in the castle one can find the device of Philippe Pot, Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â« Tant L Valt Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â».
Philippe died in 1493 without leaving an heir, so the castle went to his brother Guy Pot, then via various alliances to Marie Liesse de Luxembourg. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Bran Castle (German: TÃƒÂ¢rzburg; Hungarian: TÃƒÂ¢rcsvÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡r), situated near Bran and in the immediate vicinity of Bra&#351;ov, is a national monument and landmark in Romania.</b> The fortress is situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia, on Highway 73. Commonly known as "Dracula's Castle", it is marketed as the home of the titular character in Bram Stoker's Dracula.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>1212 the Teutonic Knights built the wooden castle of Dietrichstein as a fortified position in the Burzenland at the entrance to a mountain valley through which traders had traveled for more than a millennium,</b> although it was destroyed in 1242 by the Mongols. The first documented mentioning of Bran Castle is the act issued by Louis I of Hungary on November 19, 1377, giving the Saxons of Kronstadt (Bra&#351;ov) the privilege to build the stone citadel; the settlement of Bran began to develop nearby. The castle was first used in 1378 in defense against the Ottoman Empire, and later became a customs post on the mountain pass between Transylvania and Wallachia. The castle briefly belonged to Mircea the Elder of Wallachia. While Vlad &#354;epe&#351; did not actually live in the Bran Castle, it is believed he spent two days locked in the dungeon while the Ottomans controlled Transylvania.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Hohbarr (French: Haut-Barr) is a medieval castle, first built in 1100, above the city of Saverne in the French dÃƒÂ¢partement of Bas-Rhin. </b>It was built on sandstone rock 460m above the valley of Zorn and the plain of Alsace. Because of this, it has been called the eye of Alsace.</div><br/>
<div><br><b>On several occasions it was expanded by the bishops of Strasbourg.</b> The Peace of Westphalia mandated the destruction of several castles, including Hohbarr, but after the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession, in 1701, the fortress was back in use. It was abandoned in about 1770, but the vault continued to be occupied until the French Revolution.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Kalemegdan (Serbian Cyrillic: &#1050;&#1072;&#1083;&#1077;&#1084;&#1077;&#1075;&#1076;&#1072;&#1085;) is a park in an urban area neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. </b>It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Stari Grad. Kalemegdan means "castle square" in Turkish. Kalemegdan is located on top of the 125.5 [1] meters high ending ridge of Ãƒâ€¦Ã‚Â umadija geological bar. The cliff-like ridge overlooks the Great War Island (Serbian Veliko ratno ostrvo) and the confluence of the Sava river into the Danube and makes one of the most beautiful natural lookouts in Belgrade.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Kalemegdan is the core and the oldest section of the urban area of Belgrade and for centuries the city population was concentrated only within the walls of the fortress, thus the history of the fortress, until most recent history, equals the history of Belgrade itself. </b>First settlement was founded in the 3rd century BC by the Celtic tribe of Scordisci. The city-fortress was later conquered by the Romans, became known as Singidunum and became a part of "the military frontier", where the Roman Empire bordered "barbaric Central Europe". Singidunum was defended by the Roman legion IV Flaviae which built a fortified camp on a hill at the confluence of the rivers the Danube and the Sava. In the period between AD 378 and 441 the Roman camp was being repeatedly destroyed in the invasions by the Goths and the Huns. The legend says that Attila's grave lies on the confluence of the Sava and the Danube (under the Fortress). In 476 Belgrade again became the borderline between the empires: Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire), and the Slav- Avar State in the North.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Castelnau de Guers This medieval village perched on rocky outcrop near PÃƒÂ¢zenas, </b>takes its name from the Barons of Guers, who reigned at the Castelnau Castle until the 17th century. The feudal castle was first mentioned in 1069. Today, there remain the crenellated faÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ade, a Romanesque doorway topped by a machicolation, curtain walls, the structure of the drawbridge and the Romanesque chapel. There is a magnificent panorama over the plain from the terrace. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Antoing is one of Belgium's most original and well-known castles.</b> It was first mentioned in the 12th century. Although the castle dates from the 13th and 15th century, it was redesigned in neo-gothic style in the 19th century by the famous French architect Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879). Other Belgian castles built in such style include Faulx-les-Tombes and La Posterie (in Courriere), both about 15 km south of Namur. The castle of Antoing first belonged to the powerful Melun family, then passed in 1634 to the Princes de Ligne by inheritance. The Ligne family also owns the castle of BelÃƒâ€¦il in the same province.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Zvolen Castle (Slovak: ZvolenskÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â½ zÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡mok is a medieval castle located on a hill near the center of Zvolen, in central Slovakia.</b> The original seat of the region was above the confluence of Slatina and Hron rivers on a steep cliff in a castle from the 12th century, known today as PustÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â½ hrad (meaning "Deserted castle"). Its difficult access had consequence in relocation of the seat to the new-built Zvolen castle, which was ordered by Louis I the Great as a hunting residence of Hungarian kings. The future queen regnant Mary of Hungary and emperor Sigismund celebrated their wedding there in 1385. Gothic architecture of the castle built between 1360 and 1382 was inspired by Italian castles of the fourteenth century. Italian masons also contributed to a Renaissance reconstruction in 1548. The last major reconstruction occurred in 1784, when the chapel was rebuilt into the Baroque style.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Zvolen castle was built by Louis I. from Anjou, which built it like a gothic hunting castle.</b> In his form was finished in 1382, when it was a witness of an engagement of his daughter Mary and Sigmund Luxemburger.  John Jiskra from BrandÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â½s, who became one of the most powerful commander in Hungary and this castle was one of his manors from 1440 to 1462. The castle was also often visited by a king Mathew with his wife Beatrice, who used this castle as a manor from 1490. About 1500 was built up external fortification with four round bastions and entrance gate. In half of 16th century was built up another floor with embrasures and corner oriel towers. About 1590 was built up artillery bastion also. The castle was rebuilt many times, but it retains its Renaissance look </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Franchimont Castle is a medieval castle in the municipality of Theux in Belgium.</b> It sits at the western end of a small hill overlooking the village of Franchimont. It is thought to have originally been built in the 11th Century, as a stronghold of the Principality of LiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨ge. The original building was extended several times during the middle ages, once after a fire in 1387.
In 1487 the castle was besieged, and around the same period the La Marck family took ownership of it. In the early 16th Century the outer wall was built, with casemates and an artillery tower added.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The Chateau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.</b>  This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac </b>(one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley. The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>TrakoÃƒâ€¦Ã‚Â¡&#263;an (also spelled Trakostyan) is a castle located in northern Croatia (in the VaraÃƒâ€¦Ã‚Â¾din county) that dates back to the 13th century</b> (first written mention is in 1334). It has been meticulously maintained and is currently one of the best preserved historic buildings in the country.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ban of Croatia Ivan DraÃƒâ€¦Ã‚Â¡kovi&#263; or Draskovich (1550-1613) was from TrakoÃƒâ€¦Ã‚Â¡&#263;an.</b> Trakoscan was built in the 13th century within Croatia's northwestern fortification system, as a rather small observation fortress for monitoring the road from Ptuj to Bednja Valley.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>According to a legend,</b> Trakoscan was named after another fortification (arx Thacorum) that was alleged to have stood in the same spot back in antiquity. Another source claims that it was named after the knights of Drachenstein who were in control of the region in early Middle Ages.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>All Steel Is Coal Fired, Hammered By Master Blacksmiths <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> And Patina Finished.</b>
At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>Fenis Castle is an Italian fortress dating back as early as the 1242 CE. The castle is located in the town of Aosta on the Dora Baltea River.</b> It was constructed under the direction of Prince Challant who owned the region of Val d'Aosta and wanted to use it in order to control the area's iron trade. Though it has never been assaulted, it is fortified with tall stone walls and several cylindrical towers. The Castello di Fenis more commonly known as the castle of Fenis is a 13th century castle built by the Challant family. This fairytale like castle took almost 100 years to build and is the best presserved castle in the Valle d'Aosta.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Royal Castle of Ciergnon (ChÃƒÂ¢teau Royal de Ciergnon) is a residence and summer retreat of the Belgian Royal Family situated near the town of Ciergnon in the municipality of Houyet.</b> The domain with its woods, river and vast hunting grounds was acquired in 1840 by King Leopold I of Belgium at the request of his spouse Queen Louise-Marie. At first a hunting lodge was erected on a beautiful terrace overlooking a deep forested valley. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The present ChÃƒÂ¢teau was erected only later on the demand of King Leopold II of Belgium.</b> The edifice was designed by his court architect Alphonse Balat. Since then it has always served as a holiday retreat to the Royal Family. In 1960 it was the venue for the press presentation of King Baudouin's fiancÃƒÂ¢ Dona Fabiola de Mora y Aragon. More recently the children of the Duke of Brabant, Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel and Prince Emmanuel and Princess ElÃƒÂ¢onore were baptised in the chapel of the chÃƒÂ¢teau.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The royal ChÃƒÂ¢teau at Amboise is a chÃƒÂ¢teau located in Amboise, in the Indre-et-Loire dÃƒÂ¢partement of the Loire Valley in France.</b> Built on a promontory overlooking the Loire River to control a strategic ford that was replaced in the Middle Ages by a bridge, the chÃƒÂ¢teau began its life in the eleventh century, when the notorious Fulk Nerra, Count of Anjou, rebuilt the stronghold in stone. Expanded and improved over time, on 4 September 1434 it was seized by Charles VII of France, after its owner, Louis d'Amboise, was convicted of plotting against Louis XI and executed in 1431. Once in royal hands, the chÃƒÂ¢teau became a favourite of French kings; Charles VIII decided to rebuild it extensively, beginning in 1492 at first in the French late Gothic Flamboyant style and then after 1495 employing two Italian mason-builders, Domenico da Cortona and Fra Giocondo, who provided at Amboise some of the first Renaissance decorative motifs seen in French architecture. The names of three French builders are preserved in the documents: Colin Biart, Guillaume Senault and Louis Armangeart.


<div><br><b>King Francis I was raised at Amboise, which belonged to his mother, Louise of Savoy, and during the first few years of his reign the chÃƒÂ¢teau reached the pinnacle of its glory. As a guest of the King, Leonardo da Vinci came to ChÃƒÂ¢teau Amboise in December 1515 and lived and worked in the nearby Clos LucÃƒÂ¢, connected to the chÃƒÂ¢teau by an underground passage. Tourists are told that he is buried in the Chapel of Saint-Hubert, adjoining the ChÃƒÂ¢teau, which had been built in 1491"96.
Henry II and his wife, Catherine de' Medici, raised their children in ChÃƒÂ¢teau Amboise along with Mary Stuart, the child Queen of Scotland who had been promised in marriage to the future French Francis II.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was erected by order of Frederick II starting from 1240,</b>  It is one of the four major structures on which the reputation of Frederick as the builder-Emperor rests, and the only one north of the Kingdom of Naples. Its original destination was as Imperial residence,  It has eight towers, like Frederick's Castel del Monte in Apulia.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The construction was halted at the emperor's death in 1250.</b>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Sedan is a castle situated in Sedan, France, </b>on a headland on the border of Meuse, flanked by the rivers BiÃƒÂ¨vre and Vra, in the Ardennes dÃƒÂ©partement of France. It is a grand fortress of medieval European stock, covering an area of 35,000 m2 in its seven floors.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Around 1424, Ãƒâ€°vrard de la Marck built a manor with two twin towers around a church over a period of six years.</b> When Evrard died in 1440, his son Jean de la Marck began reinforcing the fortress, but it was Robert II de la Marck, the grandson of Jean, who finished the most important work. In 1530, the fortifications of the manor were modernised by the construction of a circular boulevard and terraces with canons, thickening the 4.5m curtain wall by an additional 26m. The bastions were added during the course of the next century, but some of them were eventually dynamited at the end of the 19th century. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>In 1699, the principality having been absorbed into France in 1642 </b>(see the Battle of MarfÃƒÂ©e, during the Thirty Years' War), and the castle having been transformed into a garrison, Vauban built the door of the Princes (French: Ã‚Â« des Princes Ã‚Â») that was adapted to the progress of artillery. In 1822, the Church of Saint-Martin was demolished and replaced with a store for cannonballs.</div><br/>
<div><br><b>Turenne was born in the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Sedan in 1611.</b>
On September 1, 1870, the castle was surrounded by the Prussian army headquartered in Sedan. Napoleon III surrendered the following day in the small neighbouring city of Donchery.</div><br/>

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

Its original destination was as Imperial residence,  It has eight towers, like Frederick's Castel del Monte in Apulia.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The construction was halted at the emperor's death in 1250.</b>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Hochosterwitz Castle (also known as Burg Hochosterwitz) is considered to be one of Austria's most impressive medieval castles. It is situated on a 160 m (525 ft) Dolomite rock near Sankt Georgen am LÃƒÂ¢ngsee, east of the town of Sankt Veit an der Glan in Carinthia. </b>The castle can be seen from about 30 km (20 miles) away on a clear day. The site was first mentioned in a 860 deed of King Louis the German, where it was called Astarwiza (its name being of Slovenian origin). In the 11th century the castle had been a fiefdom granted by the Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg to the Spanheim noble family in return for their support during the Investiture Controversy. The Counts of Spanheim, meanwhile Dukes of Carinthia, bestowed upon the family of Osterwitz the hereditary office of the cup-bearer in 1209. In the 15th century, the last cup-bearer of Osterwitz was captured in a Turkish invasion and died in prison without leaving descendants. Possession of the castle then reverted to Emperor Frederick III.</div><br/>


In his book Change the Austro-American psychologist Paul Watzlawick </b> renders a popular tale of the siege of the castle by Margarete Maultasch ("Mouth Bag"), countess of Tyrol (1318-1369). According to legend, first noted by the medieval chronicler Jakob Unrest and later by Jacob Grimm, Margarete's forces were deceived and withdrew when the garrison of the castle slaughtered its very last ox, filled it with corn and threw it over the wall, pretending it still has got plenty of food in stock. The scene is also described in the book Die hÃƒÂ¢ssliche Herzogin (The Ugly Duchess) by Lion Feuchtwanger.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Royal Castle of Ciergnon (ChÃƒÂ¢teau Royal de Ciergnon) is a residence and summer retreat of the Belgian Royal Family situated near the town of Ciergnon in the municipality of Houyet.</b> The domain with its woods, river and vast hunting grounds was acquired in 1840 by King Leopold I of Belgium at the request of his spouse Queen Louise-Marie. At first a hunting lodge was erected on a beautiful terrace overlooking a deep forested valley. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The present ChÃƒÂ¢teau was erected only later on the demand of King Leopold II of Belgium.</b> The edifice was designed by his court architect Alphonse Balat. Since then it has always served as a holiday retreat to the Royal Family. In 1960 it was the venue for the press presentation of King Baudouin's fiancÃƒÂ¢ Dona Fabiola de Mora y Aragon. More recently the children of the Duke of Brabant, Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel and Prince Emmanuel and Princess ElÃƒÂ¢onore were baptised in the chapel of the chÃƒÂ¢teau.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Castello del Buonconsiglio is a castle in Trento, northern Italy.</b> The Castle originated from a fortified building erected in the 13th century next to the city's walls. This first edifice was called Castelvecchio ("Old Castle"), and was the seat of the Bishopric of Trent from the 13th century onwards. Bishop George of Liechtenstein was the first to enlarge the castle, in the late 14th century, turning it into a well-styled residence.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>The Castelvecchio was further modified by Johannes Hinderbach, who had the double loggiato and the Gothic entrance gate built.</b> In the first decades of the 16th century Bishop Bernardo Clesio had a new residence, called Palazzo Magno ("Grand Palace") built in Renaissance style alongside the old castle.  The Castle of Buonconsiglio remained the seat of the Prince-Bishops until 1803. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The interior halls have precious frescoes, including those in the Torre Aquila ("Eagle Tower"), which are one of the most noteworthy examples of International Gothic art in Europe:</b> they represent the "Cycle of the Months" (15th century) and were made by an unknown artist from Bohemia. The cycle is interesting also for its accurate portrayal of the landscape, the economic activities, the habits and the fashion of Medieval Trentino. The walls of Torre del Falco (late 16th century) have frescoes with hunting scenes, also a rare example of German landscape painting in northern Italy.

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b> Simply Omitting Some Important Negative Facts.</b>  These doors are made up of scarf joints <img src="/images/scarf.jpg"> and splice joints and glue in order to use scrap materials to make long lumber. The joints are then sanded filled and finished to hide the joints.</b> Sometimes shorter sections of wood inside the door are used to make a frame, and then particle board and a thin mahogany veneered surface is added by a laminating machine. </div><br/> <br/> 




<left><img src="/images/fontana.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The plain scarf is not preferred when strength is required, so it is often used in decorative situations, such as the application of trim or moulding.</b> The use of modern high-strength adhesives can greatly increase the structural performance of a plain scarf. However when used in exterior products such as doors this method is never used by top quality door builders. The scarf is a method of using scrap pieces of wood to make long lumber. The end results are never positive.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>The scarf joint in woodworking, there are two distinctly different categories of scarf, based on whether the joint has interlocking faces or not.</b> A plain scarf is simply two flat planes meeting on an angle relative to the axis of the stock being joined, and depends entirely on adhesive and/or mechanical fastening (screws, bolts, etc.) for all strength.  Structured scarf joint includes  hooked, keyed, and nibbed scarfs and are some of the many example of interlocking scarfs, offering varying degrees of tensile and compressive strength, though most still depend on mechanical fastening to keep the joint closed.</div> </br>


<center><div><br><br><div id="red14"><b>Splice Joint</b></div id="red14"></div></center>



<div><br> <b>A splice joint is a method of joining two members end to end in woodworking.</b> The splice joint is used when the material being joined is not available in the length required. It is an alternative to other joints such as the butt joint and the scarf joint. Splice joints are stronger than unreinforced butt joints and have the potential to be stronger than a scarf joint. They are more visible than a scarf joint but may be preferred when more strength is required.</div> </br>


<left><img src="/images/Splice.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>Splices are therefore most often used when structural elements are required in longer lengths than the available material.</b> The most common form of the splice joint is the half lap splice, which is common in building construction, where it is used to join shorter lengths of timber into longer beams. The splice joint should never be used in quality furniture or door building.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Mortise and tenon, simple and strong- The mortise and tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join pieces of wood, usually when the pieces are at an angle close to 90Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â°. </b>Although there are many variations on the theme, the basic idea is that the end of one of the members is inserted into a hole cut in the other member. The end of the first member is called the tenon, and it is usually narrowed with respect to the rest of the piece. The hole in the second member is called the mortise. The joint may be glued, pinned, or wedged to lock it in place. This joint is also used with other materials and, for example, is a traditional method for Stonemasons and Blacksmiths.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Pinner-Corner-Tenon.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>A mortise is a cavity cut into a timber to receive a tenon.</b> There are several kinds of mortises.

<div><br> <b>Open mortise</b> - A mortise that has only three sides. (See Bridle joint).</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Stub mortise or "suicide" joint</b> - A shallow mortise, depth depends on the size of the timber; also a mortise that does not go through the work-piece (as opposed to a "through mortise"). the back is wider, or taller, than the front, or opening. The space for the wedge initially allows room for the tenon to be inserted, the presence of the wedge, after the tenon has been engaged, prevents its withdrawal.

<div><br> <b>Generally the size of the mortise and tenon is related to the thickness of the timbers.</b> It is considered good practice to proportion the tenon as 1/3rd the thickness of the rail, or as close to this as is practical. The haunch, the cut away part of a sash corner joint that prevents the tenon coming loose, is one third the length of the tenon and one sixth of the width of the tenon in its depth. The remaining two-thirds of the rail, the tenon shoulders help to counteract lateral forces that might tweak the tenon from the mortise, contributing to its strength. These also serve to hide imperfections in the opening of the mortise.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>The finger joint - (Also known as "box joint" or "comb joint") is made by cutting a set of complementary rectangular cuts in two pieces of wood, which are then glued.</b> To visualize a finger joint simply interlock the fingers of your hands at a ninety degree angle; hence the name "finger joint." It is stronger than a butt or lap joint, and often forms part of the overall look of the piece.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Boxjoint.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The history of the finger joint is believed to have begun with wooden produce boxes or crates in the days before modern, man-made materials.</b> Finger joints were originally cut by hand with saws and sharp chisels. In modern times they are easily and quickly made with a table saw or router and a jig or fixture, which can be shop-made or purchased from a specialty woodworking supply store. A finger joint jig typically consists of a moving fence with an indexing pin that is used to evenly space out the cuts. The fence is moved over a cutting blade making a cut that is then moved over the indexing pin so the next cut can be made.</div> </br>


<div><br> <b>The strength of a finger joint comes from the long-grain to long-grain contact between the fingers, which provides a solid gluing surface.</b> The number of contact points also allows for more gluing surface as opposed to a butt joint or a rabbet joint.</div> </br>


<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>The Dovetail Joint Pre Dates Written History As Shown On This Romanian Church</b></div id="red14"></div></center>


<div><br> <b>A dovetail joint or simply dovetail is a joint technique most commonly used in woodworking joinery.</b> Noted for its resistance to being pulled apart (tensile strength), the dovetail joint is commonly used to join for example the sides of a drawer to the front. A series of pins cut to extend from the end of one board interlock with a series of tails cut into the end of another board. The pins and tails have a trapezoidal shape. Once glued, a wooden dovetail joint requires no mechanical fasteners.</div> </br>





<left><img src="/images/Dovetail.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>The dovetail joint pre-dates written history.</b> Some of the earliest known examples of the dovetail joint are in furniture entombed with mummies dating from First Dynasty of ancient Egypt, as well the tombs of Chinese emperors. The dovetail design is an important method of distinguishing various periods of furniture.</div> </br>


<left><img src="/images/Finished-Dovetail.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Dovetails can be cut by hand or by machines, often with an electric router and using one of a range of commercially available jigs or templates.</b> Although it is technically a straight forward process, hand-cutting dovetails requires a high degree of accuracy to ensure a snug fit and so can be difficult to master. The pins and tails must fit together with no gap between them so that the joint interlocks tightly with no movement. Thus the cutting of dovetails by hand is regarded as a mark of skill on the part of the craftsperson.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red14"><b>It Takes A Master Craftsman To Hand Cut Perfect Joints</b></div id="red14"></div></center>

<left><img src="/images/Dovetail-Chisel.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The angle of slope varies according to the wood used.</b> Typically the slope is 1:6 for softwoods and a shallower 1:8 slope for hardwoods. Often a slope of 1:7 is used as a compromise - perhaps using a dovetail template for marking out.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>When being cut by hand, there are two schools of thought as to whether the pins or the tails should be cut first.</b> For pins first, the pins are laid out and cut by the chosen method, then the outline of the pins is transferred to the face of the tail board. For tails first, the tails are laid out and cut and then the outline is transferred to the end grain of the pin board. Each has advantages and it is a personal choice as to which is chosen.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Hand cut dovetails can often be distinguished from machine-cut dovetails by the width of the pins.</b> It is possible to have pins that are almost triangular when cut by hand that are not possible when cut with a router, owing to the thickness of the router bit's shank. These narrow pins are known as London Pins.</div> </br>



<div><br> <b> A through dovetail joint </b> (also known as plain dovetail) joint, where the end grain of both boards is visible when the joint is assembled. Through dovetails are common in carcass and box construction. Traditionally, the dovetails would have often be covered by a veneer. However, dovetails have become a signature of craftsmanship and are generally considered a feature, so they are rarely concealed in contemporary work.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Joinery-throughdovetail.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>A half-blind dovetail is used when the craftsman does not wish end grain to be visible from the front of the item.</b> The tails are housed in sockets in the ends of the board that is to be the front of the item so that their ends cannot be seen. Half-blind dovetails are commonly used to fasten drawer fronts to drawer sides. This is an alternative to the practice of attaching false fronts to drawers constructed using through dovetails.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Joinery-halfblinddovetail.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>The sliding dovetail is a method of joining two boards at right angles, where the intersection occurs within the field of one of the boards, that is not at the end.</b> This joint provides the interlocking strength of a dovetail. Sliding dovetails are assembled by sliding the tail into the socket. It is common to slightly taper the socket, making it slightly tighter towards the rear of the joint, so that the two components can be slid together easily but the joint becomes tighter as the finished position is reached.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Joinery-slidingdovetail.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The full-blind dovetail obscures the mechanics of the joint altogether.</b> This variant is used in fine work when the craftsperson requires the strength of a dovetail but without the visual intrusion of the interlocking pins and tails. Two versions of this joint are the secret double-lapped dovetail and the full-blind mitered dovetail. The former presents a very thin section of end grain on one edge of the joint, whilst the latter does not. When used in drawer construction, a "full-blind dovetail" is known as a "French dovetail."</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Some of these ancient joints and has been found joining the wooden planks of the "Khufu ship", a 43.6 m long vessel sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid complex of the Fourth Dynasty around 2,500 BC.</b> It has also been found in archeological sites in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. In traditional Chinese architecture, wood components such as beams, brackets, roof frames and struts were made to interlock with perfect fit, without using fasteners or glues, enabling the wood to expand and contract according to humidity. Archaeological evidence from Chinese sites show that by the end of the Neolithic, mortise and tenon joinery was employed in Chinese construction. The 30 sarsen stones of Stonehenge were dressed and fashioned with mortise and tenon joints before they were erected between 2600 and 2400 B.C.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Biscuit.jpg"></left>
<div><br> <b>A butt joint is a joinery technique in which two members are joined by simply butting them together. </b>The butt joint is the simplest joint to make since it merely involves cutting the members to the appropriate length and butting them together. It is also the weakest because unless some form of reinforcement is used (see below) it relies upon glue alone to hold it together. Because the orientation of the members usually present only end grain to long grain gluing surface, the resulting joint is inherently weak.</div> </br>


<left><img src="/images/Dowel.jpg"></left>


<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Bridle Joint  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>

<div><br> <b>A bridle joint is a woodworking joint, similar to a mortise and tenon, in that a tenon is cut on the end of one member and a mortise is cut into the other to accept it.</b> The distinguishing feature is that the tenon and the mortise are cut to the full width of the tenon member.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/T-Bridle.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The corner bridle joint (also known as a slot mortise and tenon) joins two members at their respective ends, forming a corner. </b>This form of the joint is commonly used to house a rail in uprights, such as legs. It provides good strength in compression and is fairly resistant to racking, although a mechanical fastener or pin is often required. The bridle joint is very popular in workbench construction.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Butterfly Joint  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>



<div><br> <b>A Butterfly joint is a type of joint used either to hold two or more wooden boards together or to keep two halves of a board that have already started to split from splitting further.</b> They may also be used to stabilize the core of a knothole, preventing it from dropping out over time. A butterfly joint resembles two dovetails connected at the narrow part. A negative of the hole is cut out of the board the butterfly will be placed in and the butterfly is then fitted, keeping the joint together. The wood used for the butterfly is usually a contrasting wood, often walnut.</div> </br>
<left><img src="/images/Butterfly.jpg"></left>



<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Coping Or Scribing Joint  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>


<div><br> <b>Coping or scribing is the woodworking technique of shaping the end of a moulding or frame component to fit the contours of an abutting member.</b> Most English speaking countries outside the US use the terms scribe and scribing. Coping is commonly used in the fitting of skirting and other moldings in a room. It allows for clean joints between intersecting members when walls are not square to each other. The other method of fitting these moldings that is commonly used is the mitre joint but this technique relies upon the walls being at 90Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° to each other for neat results. </div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Coped-Joint.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Coping is only ever used for internal corners.</b> External corners are always mitered. The main reason that scribed joints are used is that timber shrinks in width far more than it does in length. By using a scribed joint rather than an internal mitre joint the effect of shrinkage is minimized. Also it is possible to arrange the scribed joints pointing away from the most common viewpoint (usually the doorway of a room) and so present the best appearance.</div> </br>



</left><div><br><b>A scribed joint</b> (right end of sketch) is derived from an internal mitre cut (left end) by cutting along the inside face of the mitre cut at a right angle to the board, typically with a coping saw.</div><br/>


<left><img src="/images/Scribed-joint.jpg">


<div><br> <b>Coping is also commonly used in cabinet making for moldings and frame components.</b> The rails in frame and panel construction are commonly cope cut to fit the profile of the stiles. The technique is also common in the construction of doors and windows.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Rail And Stile  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>

<div><br> <b>Frame and panel construction (also called "rail and stile") is a woodworking technique often used in the making of doors, wainscoting, and other decorative features for cabinets, furniture, and homes.</b> The basic idea is to capture a 'floating' panel within a sturdy frame, as opposed to techniques like slab drawer fronts which are simply single pieces of material with exposed end-grains. Usually, the panel is not glued to the frame - it is left to 'float' within it so that seasonal movement of the wood comprising the panel does not distort the frame.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Frame and panel construction at its most basic consists of five members:</b> The panel and the four members which make up the frame. The vertical members of the frame are called stiles while the horizontal members are known as rails. A basic frame and panel item consists of a top rail, a bottom rail, two stiles, and a panel. This is a common method of constructing cabinet doors and these are often referred to as a five piece door.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>In larger panels it is common to divide the panel into one or more sections.</b> To house the extra panels, dividing pieces known as mid rails and mid stiles or muntins are added to the frame.</div> </br>





<div><br> <b>Pocket-Hole Joinery, Pocket-Screw Joinery, or Kreg Joinery involves drilling a hole at an angle into one work-piece, and then joining it to a second work-piece with a self-tapping screw. </b>The technique, in addition to doweling, has its roots in ancient Egypt. Egyptians clamped two work-pieces together and bored a hole at an angle from the outside work-piece into the second work-piece. They then inserted a dowel with glue, and cut it off flush with the outermost surface.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Pocket-Hole.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>A rabbet (also known as rebate) is a recess or groove cut into the edge of a piece of machinable material, usually wood. When viewed in cross-section, a rabbet is two-sided and open to the edge or end of the surface into which it is cut.</b> The spelling rabbet is probably a derivation of rebate, the latter being more common outside of North America. An example of the use of a rabbet is in a glazing bar where it makes provision for the insertion of the pane of glass and putty. It may also accommodate the edge of the back panel of a cabinet. It is also used in door and casement window jambs.</div> </br>


<left><img src="/images/Rabbitt.jpg"></left>



<div><br> <b>Tongue and groove joint </b>A strong joint, the tongue and groove joint is widely used for re-entrant angles. The effect of wood shrinkage is concealed when the joint is beaded or otherwise moulded. In expensive cabinet work, glued dovetail and multiple tongue and groove are used. Tongue and groove or T&G is a method of fitting similar objects together, edge to edge, used mainly with wood: flooring, parquetry, panelling, and similar constructions. Tongue and groove joints allow two flat pieces to be joined strongly together to make a single flat surface. Before plywood became common, tongue and groove boards were also used for sheathing buildings and to construct concrete formwork.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Dusheme.jpg"></left>
<div><br><b>Solid parquet boards with tongues on the right sides of the boards and grooves on the left sides. Grooves are also visible on the near ends; the far ends are tongued.</div><br/></b>

<div><br> <b>Each piece has a slot (the groove) cut all along one edge, and a thin, deep ridge (the tongue) on the opposite edge.</b> The tongue projects a little less than the groove is deep. Two or more pieces thus fit together closely. The joint is not normally glued, as shrinkage would then pull the tongue off. For many uses, tongue and groove boards have been rendered obsolete by the introduction of plywood and later composite wood boards, <b>but the method is still used in good-quality flooring.</b> Plywood may also be tongued all round to fit it flush into a framed structure, and plywood for sub-floors used in platform framing is often supplied with tongue and groove edges.When joining thicker materials, several tongue and groove joints may be used one above the other.</div> </br>


<div><br> <b>A dado (US and Canada), housing (UK) or trench (Europe) is a slot or trench cut into the surface of a piece of machinable material, usually wood.</b> When viewed in cross-section, a dado has three sides. A dado is cut across, or perpendicular to, the grain and is thus differentiated from a groove which is cut with, or parallel to, the grain. A dado may be through, meaning that it passes all the way through the surface and its ends are open, or stopped, meaning that one or both of the ends finish before the dado meets the edge of the surface.</div> </br>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de CandÃƒÂ¢ is a castle located in the commune of Monts, Indre-et-Loire, 10 km (6 mi) to the south of Tours on the border of the dÃƒÂ¢partement of Indre in France.</b>
The first known Lord of CandÃƒÂ¢ was MacÃƒÂ¢ de LarÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ay, in 1313. FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois BriÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§onnet, the mayor of Tours and state treasurer, purchased the fief in 1499 and built a Renaissance house on the site of the old fortress. He died before the building was finished, and it was completed by his daughter, Jeanne, in 1508.
<div><br><b>Several owners succeeded to the estate, but none brought major transformations to the castle. </b>According to terms of a sale contract dated 28 June 1715 between Georges-FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois de GuÃƒÂ¢nand, seigneur de l'ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Â°tang and Pierre Anguille de la NiverdiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨re, the land consisted of a chÃƒÂ¢teau-fort, enclosed walls, ditches, drawbridge, barns, gardens, orchards, vines, mature wood of standing timbers and coppice, wild rabbits, and many other things.</div><br/>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Birai Castle is a castle in Birai, Lithuania. Construction of the earth bastion-type castle started in 1586 by the order of Mikalojus Kristupas Radvila.</b> In 1575, preparing for this construction, a dam was built on the Agluona and ApaÃ‚Â¡&#269;ia rivers at their confluence, and the artificial Lake a irv&#279;na, covering about 40 kmÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â², was created. Major castle building works were finished in 1589.
Since the second half of the 17th century, the castle has been the main seat of the Birai-Dubingiai Radvila family line, which was transferred here from the Dubingiai Castle. Birai Castle served as a major defensive structure during the wars with Sweden. The castle was reconstructed from ruins in the 1980s, in the Renaissance-Baroque style, the residential manor of the castle houses a library and a regional history museum "S&#279;la" (literally Selonia), founded in 1928.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de FougaÃ‚Â¨res-sur-BiaÃ‚Â¨vre is a castle in the commune of FougaÃ‚Â¨res-sur-BiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨vre in the Loir-et-Cher dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.</b> Originally an 11th century structure, it was entirely rebuilt at the end of the 15th century, only the large square keep being preserved. The first works kept the military aspect (ditches, cannon-holes, wall walk, etc) but, thereafter, more Renaissance refinements were added such as a gallery, mullioned windows and steep-sloped roofs. During the 19th century, a spinning mill was installed in the chapel. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>FÃƒÂ¢nis Castle is an Italian fortress dating back as early as the 1242 CE. The castle is located in the town of Aosta on the Dora Baltea River.</b> It was constructed under the direction of Prince Challant who owned the region of Val d'Aosta and wanted to use it in order to control the area's iron trade. Though it has never been assaulted, it is fortified with tall stone walls and several cylindrical towers. The Castello di Fenis more commonly known as the castle of Fenis is a 13th century castle built by the Challant family. This fairytale like castle took almost 100 years to build and is the best presserved castle in the Valle d'Aosta.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

In the 13th century it was rebuilt in stone, and remained a powerful stronghold until being partially rebuilt during the Civil War. </div><br/><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>All Steel Is Coal Fired, Hammered By Master Blacksmiths <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> And Patina Finished.</b>
At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Slane Castle is a castle located in Slane village, County Meath, in the Republic of Ireland.</b> Situated in the Boyne valley overlooking the River Boyne just a few miles upstream from the site of the famous Battle of the Boyne, Slane Castle in its existing form was reconstructed under the direction of William Burton Conyngham, together with his nephew the first Marquess Conyngham.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The reconstruction dates back to 1785 and is principally the work of James Gandon, James Wyatt and Francis Johnston.</b> Francis Johnston is responsible for the gothic gates on the Mill Hill. The Conynghams are originally a noble Scottish family, and first settled in Ireland in 1611 in County Donegal. There has been an active association between the Conynghams and the Slane Estate dating back over 300 years, ever since the property was purchased by the family following the Williamite Confiscations in 1701.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Prior to this, Slane had been possessed by the Flemings, aristocratic Anglo-Norman Catholics who cast their lot with the Jacobites. </b>Christopher Fleming, 22nd of Slane, 17th Lord, Viscount Longford (b 1669, d 14.07.1726), was the last Fleming Lord of Slane. The present head of the Conyngham family is the seventh Marquess Conyngham. Slane Castle is currently occupied by his eldest son, the Earl of Mount Charles.</div><br/>

At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Castello del Buonconsiglio is a castle in Trento, northern Italy.</b> The Castle originated from a fortified building erected in the 13th century next to the city's walls. This first edifice was called Castelvecchio ("Old Castle"), and was the seat of the Bishopric of Trent from the 13th century onwards. Bishop George of Liechtenstein was the first to enlarge the castle, in the late 14th century, turning it into a well-styled residence.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>The Castelvecchio was further modified by Johannes Hinderbach, who had the double loggiato and the Gothic entrance gate built.</b> In the first decades of the 16th century Bishop Bernardo Clesio had a new residence, called Palazzo Magno ("Grand Palace") built in Renaissance style alongside the old castle.  The Castle of Buonconsiglio remained the seat of the Prince-Bishops until 1803. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The interior halls have precious frescoes, including those in the Torre Aquila ("Eagle Tower"), which are one of the most noteworthy examples of International Gothic art in Europe:</b> they represent the "Cycle of the Months" (15th century) and were made by an unknown artist from Bohemia. The cycle is interesting also for its accurate portrayal of the landscape, the economic activities, the habits and the fashion of Medieval Trentino. The walls of Torre del Falco (late 16th century) have frescoes with hunting scenes, also a rare example of German landscape painting in northern Italy.

<div><br><b>All Steel Is Coal Fired, Hammered By Master Blacksmiths <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> And Patina Finished.</b>
At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The chÃƒÂ¢teau of Azay-le-Rideau was built from 1515 to 1527, one of the earliest French Renaissance chÃƒÂ¢teaux.</b. Built on an island in the Indre River, its foundations rise straight out of the water. Gilles Berthelot, state treasurer of FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois I and mayor of Tours, began building on this already-fortified site, that was partly his wife's inheritance. However, it was she, Philippe Lesbahy, who directed the course of the works, including the novel idea of a central staircase (escalier d'honneur) that is Azay's greatest innovation. When Berthelot was suspected of collusion in embezzlement he was forced to flee from incomplete Azay-le-Rideau in 1528; he never saw the chÃƒÂ¢teau again. Instead, the king confiscated the property and gave it as a reward to one of his high-ranking soldiers.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Over the centuries, it changed hands several times until the early part of the twentieth century, when it was purchased by the French government and restored. </b>The interior was completely refurbished with a collection of Renaissance pieces. Today, the chÃƒÂ¢teau is open to public visits. The long low proportions and the sculptural decorations are Italianate, in the new antique taste, but the bastion corners capped by pointed cones, the vertical stacks of grouped windows separated by emphatic horizontal string courses, and the high sloped slate roof are unmistakably French.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>The playful fortifications and the medieval donjon towers gave an air of traditional nobility to the king's newly-ennobled treasurer.</b> The central staircase is the main feature a visitor meets with upon entering. It is embodied within the building, rather than rising helically, partly embedded in the wall and visible from outside in the French way, a feature that is familiar at the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Blois.
The sculptural details at Azay are particularly remarkable. On the ground floor, fluted pilasters on high bases support the salamander and the ermine, emblems of FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois I and Claude de France.</div><br/>

At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Slane Castle is a castle located in Slane village, County Meath, in the Republic of Ireland.</b> Situated in the Boyne valley overlooking the River Boyne just a few miles upstream from the site of the famous Battle of the Boyne, Slane Castle in its existing form was reconstructed under the direction of William Burton Conyngham, together with his nephew the first Marquess Conyngham.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The reconstruction dates back to 1785 and is principally the work of James Gandon, James Wyatt and Francis Johnston.</b> Francis Johnston is responsible for the gothic gates on the Mill Hill. The Conynghams are originally a noble Scottish family, and first settled in Ireland in 1611 in County Donegal. There has been an active association between the Conynghams and the Slane Estate dating back over 300 years, ever since the property was purchased by the family following the Williamite Confiscations in 1701.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Prior to this, Slane had been possessed by the Flemings, aristocratic Anglo-Norman Catholics who cast their lot with the Jacobites. </b>Christopher Fleming, 22nd of Slane, 17th Lord, Viscount Longford (b 1669, d 14.07.1726), was the last Fleming Lord of Slane. The present head of the Conyngham family is the seventh Marquess Conyngham. Slane Castle is currently occupied by his eldest son, the Earl of Mount Charles.</div><br/>

At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. <b>All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Nothing is Drop Forged.</b> We create works <i>The Old Fashioned Way</i> using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art).<b> Nothing is wrought iron; </b>wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Castle of Rivoli is a former Residence of the Royal House of Savoy in Rivoli (province of Turin, Italy). It is currently home to the Museum of Contemporary Art of Turin.</b> The castle was probably built in the 9th-10th centuries, but its existence is mentioned for the first time only in 1159, in a diplom by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa that ceded the Rivolese territories to the bishops of Turin.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The House of Savoy acquired Rivoli in the 11th century,</b> and soon began a feud with the bishops that as soon as 1184 provoked damage to the castle. In 1330 Amadeus VI of Savoy moved in the castle the Consiglio dei Principi, senior administrative council of the countryside. The castle was also <b>the first place of public veneration of the Shroud of Turin </b>in his path towards Turin under Amadeus IX.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Belcastel is a medieval castle in the village and commune of Belcastel, on the north bank of the Aveyron River, downstream from Rodez in the Aveyron dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.</b> The oldest part of the Chateau was constructed in the 9th century, and it grew at the hands of the Belcastel family. Later, for many decades, it was the seat of the famed Saunhac family.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> The famous French architect Fernand Pouillon (1912-1986) discovered the castle in ruins in 1974. </b>Pouillon decided to reconstruct the fortress, which had been abandoned since at least the 17th century. Pouillon himself undertook the restoration by hand, along with the help of a dozen Algerian stone masons, and 10 stained-glass experts. The work lasted only 8 years and called for great courage from him and his colleagues, due to the enormity of the undertaking, the chÃƒÂ¢teau's dangerous location, and the fact that no machines were used in the daring reconstruction.
Pouillon also undertook the restoration of the village, which is now recognised with the award of the title of "Un des plus beaux villages de France" ("One of the most beautiful villages in France").</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The Royal Castle of Ciergnon (ChÃƒÂ¢teau Royal de Ciergnon) is a residence and summer retreat of the Belgian Royal Family situated near the town of Ciergnon in the municipality of Houyet.</b> The domain with its woods, river and vast hunting grounds was acquired in 1840 by King Leopold I of Belgium at the request of his spouse Queen Louise-Marie. At first a hunting lodge was erected on a beautiful terrace overlooking a deep forested valley. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The present ChÃƒÂ¢teau was erected only later on the demand of King Leopold II of Belgium.</b> The edifice was designed by his court architect Alphonse Balat. Since then it has always served as a holiday retreat to the Royal Family. In 1960 it was the venue for the press presentation of King Baudouin's fiancÃƒÂ¢ Dona Fabiola de Mora y Aragon. More recently the children of the Duke of Brabant, Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel and Prince Emmanuel and Princess ElÃƒÂ¢onore were baptised in the chapel of the chÃƒÂ¢teau.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The Janka Hardness Test Measures The Hardness Of Wood.</b> It involves measuring the force required to embed a 11.28 millimeter (0.444 inch) steel ball into wood to half its diameter. This method was chosen so that the result would leave an indention 100 square millimeters in size. It is one of the best measures of the ability of a wood species to withstand denting and wear.</div></br>


<div><br><b> It is also a good indicator of how hard a species is to saw or nail.</b>
The hardness of wood usually varies with the direction of the wood grain. If testing is done on the surface of a plank, perpendicular to the grain, the test is said to be of "side hardness." Testing the cut surface of a stump would be called a test of "end hardness."</div></br>


<div><br><b> In the United States, the measurement is in pounds-force (lbf).</b> In Sweden it is in kilograms-force (kgf), and in Australia, either in newtons (N) or kilonewtons (kN). Sometimes the results are treated as units, e.g., "660 Janka".</div></br>


<div><br><b>To convert the United States pound-force (lbf) units to newtons N multiply pound-force</b> by 0.453 592 37 then multiply by 9.8. Janka hardness N = (lbf x 0.453 592 37)9.8 OR multiply by 4.44822161526. To get lbf from N, multiply N by 0.224808943099736.</div></br>


<div><br>A common use of Janka hardness ratings is to determine whether a species is suitable for use as flooring.</div></br>

<div><br><b>Bojnice Castle is a castle in Bojnice, Slovakia.</b> Bojnice Castle was first mentioned in written records in 1113, in a document held at the Zobor Abbey. Originally built as a wooden fort, it was gradually replaced by stone, with the outer walls being shaped according to the uneven rocky terrain. Its first owner was Matthew Csak, who received it in 1302 from the King Ladislaus V of Hungary. Later, in the 15th century, it was owned by King Matthias Corvinus, who gave it to his illegitimate son John Corvinus in 1489. Matthias liked to visit Bojnice and it was here that he worked on his royal decrees. He used to dictate them under his beloved linden tree, which is now known as the "Linden tree of King Matthias." After his death the castle became the property of the Zapolya family. The Thurzos, the richest family in the northern Kingdom of Hungary (now Slovakia), acquired the castle in 1528 and undertook its major reconstruction. The former fortress was turned into a Renaissance castle. From 1646 on, the castle's owners were the Palffys, who continued to rebuild the castle.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Castello della Manta is a castle near Saluzzo, in Piedmont (northern Italy).
The originary building, dating from the 12th century,</b> was later enlarged and transformed into a noble residence by the family of Saluzzo della Manta, margraves of Saluzzo. Among the numerous halls, the Baronal Hall (Salone Baronale) has a notable relevance for the frescoes decorating its walls, a rare masterwork of Late Gothic painting in northern Italy. The work is attributed to an anonymous Master of Castello della Manta. The cycle, completed soon after 1420, portrays a series of famous heroical figures (both males and females) probably inspired to members of the House of the Margraves of Saluzzo, and wearing precious dresses of the times; and the so-called Fountain of Youthness, a theme taken from the tradition of French medieval stories. They are inspired to the poem by Marquess Thomas III of Saluzzo, Le Chevalier Errant).</div><br/>


<div><br><b>From the Mannerist Art of the late 16th century is instead the Sala delle Grottesche, commissioned by Marquess Michele Antonio around 1560.</b> It has a finely painted ceiling, decorated with stuccoes, grotesques, ancient ruins and architectures, in the typical style of that age.
Annexed to the castle is the church, whose apse has a series of frescoes about the life of Christ dating from the same time of the Baronal Hall decorations.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre-Hung In Structural Jamb, 118"T X 62"W X 8"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Sant'Aniceto (also San Niceto) is a Byzantine castle built in the early 11th century on a hill in Motta San Giovanni, now in the province of Reggio Calabria, southern Italy.</b> It is one of the few examples of High Middle Ages architecture in Calabria, as well as one of the few well-preserved Byzantine fortifications in the world. The name derives from that of St. Nicetas, a Byzantine admiral who lived in the 7th-8th centuries.


<div><br><b>The castle was built as a refuge and a warning place during a period in which the ravages of Saracen pirates on the Calabrian and Sicilian coasts were frequent. When the Normans conquered southern Italy, the structure was enlarged, with the addition of rectangular towers.
In the 13th century the castle became he command center of the flourishing fief of Sant'Aniceto (which included Motta San Giovanni and Montebello). Two centuries later, entered in conflict with Reggio Calabria, and in 1459 it was destroyed by Alfonso of Calabria.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>The castles has an irregular plan, which reminds that of a ship with the bow directed towards the mountains and the aft to the sea.</b> Nest to the entrance are two square towers. At the feet of the short steep path leading to the plain below is a small church, which has a frescoed dome portraying the Christ Pantokrator, a typical subject of Byzantine Art.
The height of the well-preserved walls varies from 3 to 3.5 meters, and they are some one meters thick.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Double Jamb, (2) 93"T X 44"W X 3" Thick </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Chaumont is a French castle. It was the first chÃƒÂ¢teau at Chaumont-sur-Loire, Loir-et-Cher, France.</b> It was built by Eudes II, Count of Blois, in the 10th century with the purpose of serving as a fortress to protect the Blois from attacks. The castle was burned to the ground in 1465 in accordance with Louis XI's orders and was later rebuilt by Charles I d'Amboise from 1465-1475 and then finished by his son, Charles II d'Amboise de Chaumont from 1498-1510, with help from his uncle, Georges d'Amboise.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>ChÃƒÂ¢teau Chaumont was later purchased by Catherine de Medici in 1560,</b> a year after her late husband Henry II's death. She entertained numerous astrologers there, among them Nostradamus. After a short while, she forced Diane de Poitiers, Henry II's long-term mistress, to exchange ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Chenonceau for ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Chaumont. Diane de Poitiers only lived there for a short while.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In 1750, Jacques-Donatien Le Ray purchased the Castle as a country home where he established a glassmaking and pottery factory. He was considered the French "Father of the American Revolution" because he loved America.</b> Benjamin Franklin was at some point a guest at the Castle. However, in 1789, the New French Revolutionary Government seized Le Ray's assets, including his beloved Chateau de Chaumont. Madame de Stael later acquired the Castle in 1810 and then Marie-Charlotte Say, heiress to the Say Sugar Fortune, acquired Chaumont in 1875. Later that year, she married the Prince of Broglie, who owned the Castle until 1938 </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>Castello dell'Imperatore (Italian: "Emperor's Castle") is a castle in Prato, Tuscany, Italy</b>.  it is the northernmost castle built for the medieval emperor and King of Sicily Frederick II.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>The castle was erected by order of Frederick II starting from 1240,</b>  It is one of the four major structures on which the reputation of Frederick as the builder-Emperor rests, and the only one north of the Kingdom of Naples. Its original destination was as Imperial residence,  It has eight towers, like Frederick's Castel del Monte in Apulia.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The construction was halted at the emperor's death in 1250.</b> 
In the 1930s, under the Fascist government of Italy, all the annexed buildings, In the rear area are the remains of a hospital and of a church of the Knights of Malta.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

Its original destination was as Imperial residence,  It has eight towers, like Frederick's Castel del Monte in Apulia.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The construction was halted at the emperor's death in 1250.</b>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Presule (German: Schloss PrÃƒÂ¢sels; Italian: Castello di Presule) is a castle in the Gothic style which stands on the high plain below Sciliar, in the heart of the South Tyrolese Dolomites.</b> The site where is the castle was named in a first document of 1279, as castrum praesile and it is believed that the lords of VÃƒÂ¢ls/FiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨, feudatories of the Bishopric of Brixen, had built the castle here by 1200. The year 1517, inscribed over the external portal, records the building work which took place during the latter years of the reign of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. This is the period when the castle achieved its greatest splendour under its best known lord: Count Leonhard von VÃƒÂ¢ls (Leonardo I di FiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨; 1458"1530).</div><br/>


<div><br><b>In Italian it is sometimes called Castel Colonna,</b> reflecting the fact that around the time of Leonhard II the VÃƒÂ¢ls (FiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨) family started to add the Colonna family name to their own. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

Gilles Berthelot, state treasurer of FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois I and mayor of Tours, began building on this already-fortified site, that was partly his wife's inheritance. However, it was she, Philippe Lesbahy, who directed the course of the works, including the novel idea of a central staircase (escalier d'honneur) that is Azay's greatest innovation. When Berthelot was suspected of collusion in embezzlement he was forced to flee from incomplete Azay-le-Rideau in 1528; he never saw the chÃƒÂ¢teau again. Instead, the king confiscated the property and gave it as a reward to one of his high-ranking soldiers.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Over the centuries, it changed hands several times until the early part of the twentieth century, when it was purchased by the French government and restored. </b>The interior was completely refurbished with a collection of Renaissance pieces. Today, the chÃƒÂ¢teau is open to public visits. The long low proportions and the sculptural decorations are Italianate, in the new antique taste, but the bastion corners capped by pointed cones, the vertical stacks of grouped windows separated by emphatic horizontal string courses, and the high sloped slate roof are unmistakably French.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>The playful fortifications and the medieval donjon towers gave an air of traditional nobility to the king's newly-ennobled treasurer.</b> The central staircase is the main feature a visitor meets with upon entering. It is embodied within the building, rather than rising helically, partly embedded in the wall and visible from outside in the French way, a feature that is familiar at the ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Blois.
The sculptural details at Azay are particularly remarkable. On the ground floor, fluted pilasters on high bases support the salamander and the ermine, emblems of FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois I and Claude de France.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>FÃƒÂ¢nis Castle is an Italian fortress dating back as early as the 1242 CE. The castle is located in the town of Aosta on the Dora Baltea River.</b> It was constructed under the direction of Prince Challant who owned the region of Val d'Aosta and wanted to use it in order to control the area's iron trade. Though it has never been assaulted, it is fortified with tall stone walls and several cylindrical towers. The Castello di Fenis more commonly known as the castle of Fenis is a 13th century castle built by the Challant family. This fairytale like castle took almost 100 years to build and is the best presserved castle in the Valle d'Aosta.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Castelnau de Guers This medieval village perched on rocky outcrop near PÃƒÂ¢zenas, </b>takes its name from the Barons of Guers, who reigned at the Castelnau Castle until the 17th century. The feudal castle was first mentioned in 1069. Today, there remain the crenellated faÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ade, a Romanesque doorway topped by a machicolation, curtain walls, the structure of the drawbridge and the Romanesque chapel. There is a magnificent panorama over the plain from the terrace. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Vajdahunyad Castle, or Vajdahunyad vÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡ra, is a castle in City Park, Budapest, Hungary,</b> that was built between 1896 and 1908, designed by IgnÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡c AlpÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡r. It is a copy in part of a castle in Transylvania, Romania, that is also called Vajdahunyad, though it is also a display of different architectural styles: Romanic, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. Originally it was made from cardboard and wood for the millennial exhibition in 1896 but it became so popular that it was rebuilt from stone and brick.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>The statue of Anonymus, also displayed in the Castle court,</b> was a chronicler in the XII century (probably of King BÃƒÂ¢la III). He wrote the first history books on the ancient Hungarians, mostly based on legends. Superstition says that by touching his pen you will receive good luck.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Castel del Monte (Italian: Castle of the Mount) is a 13th century castle situated in the Apulia region of southeast Italy.</b> It was built by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II some time between 1240 and 1250.</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Castel del Monte is situated on a small hill close to the monastery of Santa Maria del Monte, at an altitude of 540 m. It lies in the comune of Andria,</b> It was completed in 1249 and was used primarily as a hunting lodge by Frederick until his death in 1250. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

<div><br><b>Slane Castle is a castle located in Slane village, County Meath, in the Republic of Ireland.</b> Situated in the Boyne valley overlooking the River Boyne just a few miles upstream from the site of the famous Battle of the Boyne, Slane Castle in its existing form was reconstructed under the direction of William Burton Conyngham, together with his nephew the first Marquess Conyngham.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The reconstruction dates back to 1785 and is principally the work of James Gandon, James Wyatt and Francis Johnston.</b> Francis Johnston is responsible for the gothic gates on the Mill Hill. The Conynghams are originally a noble Scottish family, and first settled in Ireland in 1611 in County Donegal. There has been an active association between the Conynghams and the Slane Estate dating back over 300 years, ever since the property was purchased by the family following the Williamite Confiscations in 1701.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Prior to this, Slane had been possessed by the Flemings, aristocratic Anglo-Norman Catholics who cast their lot with the Jacobites. </b>Christopher Fleming, 22nd of Slane, 17th Lord, Viscount Longford (b 1669, d 14.07.1726), was the last Fleming Lord of Slane. The present head of the Conyngham family is the seventh Marquess Conyngham. Slane Castle is currently occupied by his eldest son, the Earl of Mount Charles.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb, 82"T X 36"W X 6"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Citadel or Castle of Namur is a fortification, located at Namur,</b> above the Parliament of Wallonia. It is originally from the Roman era, but has been rebuilt several times. Its current form is that of a Vauban's fortification. The town began as an important trading settlement in Celtic times, straddling east-west and north-south trade routes across the Ardennes. The Romans, too, established a presence after Julius Caesar defeated the local Aduatuci tribe.</div>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Morlanne is a restored castle in the commune of Morlanne in the PyrÃƒÂ¢nÃƒÂ¢es-Atlantiques dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.</b> This imposing brick fortress, forming a polygonal enceinte, is a powerful 14th century structure with gateways, a courtyard, moats and a high keep. Inside is a manor house dating from the end of the 16th century.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle, standing on a motte at the southern end of the village, was built about 1370 by the architect Sicard de Lordat for Arnaud-Guilhem,</b> the brother of Gaston FÃƒÂ¢bus (Gaston III of Foix-BÃƒÂ¢arn), in order to supervise English Gascony. There had been an earlier building on the same site of which there is no description. In the second half of the 15th century, Odet d' Aydie (1425 - 1498), right-hand man of Charles VII and later of Louis XI, become lord of Morlanne and transformed the austere castle with more chimneys and windows. Further alterations between the 16th century and the 19th century transformed the building over time into pleasurable residence.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Castelnau de Guers This medieval village perched on rocky outcrop near PÃƒÂ¢zenas, </b>takes its name from the Barons of Guers, who reigned at the Castelnau Castle until the 17th century. The feudal castle was first mentioned in 1069. Today, there remain the crenellated faÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ade, a Romanesque doorway topped by a machicolation, curtain walls, the structure of the drawbridge and the Romanesque chapel. There is a magnificent panorama over the plain from the terrace. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Double Jamb, 120 1/2"T X 120"W X 8"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time. Unlike tacked on door stops that usually shift over time from the pounding force of opening and closing, this stop will remain tight and plum to your door.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>Castle Visconteo is a castle built in the town of Pavia, Lombardy, northern Italy. </b>It was built by Galeazzo II Visconti in 1360, soon after the take of the city, a free city-state until then. The credited architect is Bartolino da Novara. The castle used to be the main residence of the Visconti family, while the political capital of the state was Milan. North of the castle a wide park was enclosed, also including the Certosa of Pavia, founded 1396 according to a vow of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, meant to be a sort of private chapel of the the Visconti dynasty. The Battle of Pavia (1525), climax of the Italian Wars, took place inside the castle park.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In Structural Jamb, 111 1/2"T X 46"W X 6"Deep. </b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb. You may order jambs any depth to accommodate your log size.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>he Castle of Presule (German: Schloss PrÃƒÂ¢sels; Italian: Castello di Presule) is a castle in the Gothic style which stands on the high plain below Sciliar, in the heart of the South Tyrolese Dolomites.</b> The site where is the castle was named in a first document of 1279, as castrum praesile and it is believed that the lords of VÃƒÂ¢ls/FiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨, feudatories of the Bishopric of Brixen, had built the castle here by 1200. The year 1517, inscribed over the external portal, records the building work which took place during the latter years of the reign of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. This is the period when the castle achieved its greatest splendour under its best known lord: Count Leonhard von VÃƒÂ¢ls (Leonardo I di FiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨; 1458"1530).</div><br/>


<div><br><b>In Italian it is sometimes called Castel Colonna,</b> reflecting the fact that around the time of Leonhard II the VÃƒÂ¢ls (FiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨) family started to add the Colonna family name to their own. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>The Castle of Loppem, is situated in the town of Loppem in the municipality of Zedelgem near Bruges in the Flemish Region of Belgium. </b>It was built between 1859 and 1862 for Baron Charles van Caloen and his family after the designs of E.W. Pugin and Jean-Baptiste de Bethune and is considered as a masterpiece of civil Gothic Revival architecture.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> This Castle is well preserved since the 19th-century. </b>The richly decorated and furnished interior, houses a collection of works of art, such as paintings, stained glass, statues... The castle is surrounded by a beautiful romantic park with ponds and a maze (labyrinth).</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Blandy-les-Tours is a medieval castle in the village of Blandy-les-Tours (Seine-et-Marne, France); it is about 5 km from the chÃƒÂ¢teau de Vaux-le-Vicomte and 10 km from Melun. </b> The site was previously a Merovingian necropolis. It was mentioned in a text in 1216. It belonged to Adam II de Chailly, Viscount of Melun and consisted of a simple manor; inside was a chapel, the only construction made of stone. In the 14th century, the castle was strongly modified with new fortifications and structures of defence: a moat was dug and a new gate-tower with a drawbridge was included in the enclosing wall. The kings Charles V (1364 - 1380) and Charles VI (1380 - 1422) financed the transformation into a castle for the successive owners of the castle, the counts de Tancarville Jean II and his grandson Guillaume IV. A high keep, defended by two drawbridges, was built. The curtain wall was modified by the addition of new towers. All these modifications took place during the Hundred Years' War.


<div><br><b>However, the castle of Blandy-les-Tours was rebuilt in 16th century by FranÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â§ois II of Orleans. </b>The castle consequently became a residence. The princess of Cleves married there in 1572 in the presence of the future Henri IV. But, the castle often changed owner and worsened gradually with various dwellings inside the enclosure. After the 17th century restorations, the marshal de Villars, owner of the castle of Vaux-le-Vicomte, bought the land and the castle of Blandy. He decided to dismantle it and transformed it into a farm. The roofs were taken from the towers, the parapets were destroyed and the large gatehouse was dismantled. In 1764, it was resold to the duke of Choiseul-Praslin, minister of Louis XV.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Castle Oliver (also sometimes known as Clonodfoy) is a castle in the south part of County Limerick, Ireland. </b>The lands where the castle stands were settled in about 1658 by Capt Robert Oliver, one of Oliver Cromwell's soldiers. The present castle replaced the former Castle Oliver, which stood a thousand yards to the south-west and was the birthplace of Eliza Oliver, mother of the notorious Lola Montez, who became the lover and favourite of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. This castle was also known as Clonodfoy, a contraction of an earlier Irish place name: Cloch an Otbhaidhigh, meaning 'the stone structure of Otway', Otway being an Anglo-Norman family name.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>The sisters built the present castle in 1845.</b> It was designed by George Fowler Jones in the Scottish Baronial style and built in a local pink sandstone. It contains about 110 rooms, and the largest private wine cellars in Ireland.

<div><br><b>As Shown: Pre- Hung In  Double Structural Jamb, 111 1/2"T X 86"W X 7"Deep.</b> Solid cedar 3" thick structural jamb with 1" thick rabbeted door stop.  These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction. This is because all SAF jambs are structurally built, and therefore allow the logs or beams to shrink and contract while the jamb stays straight and plumb.

It is created by cutting a dado cut into the jamb, to receive and seal the door in a closed position. This method insures a perfect seal every time.

<div><br><b>The Gravensteen is a castle in Ghent originating from the Middle Ages. The name means 'castle of the count' in Dutch. </b>The present castle was built in 1180 by count Philip of Alsace and was modelled after the crusaders castles the count encountered while he participated in the second crusade. Before its construction, there stood a wooden castle on the same location, presumably built in the ninth century. The castle served as the seat of the Counts of Flanders until they abandoned it in the 14th century. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Castle of Beersel, is located in the Belgian town of Beersel, </b>south of Brussels. It has 3 ponderous watchtowers, and is surrounded by a wide moat. The castle was first mentioned in the 12th century but the present fortress was constructed by Godfrey of Hellebeek between 1300 and 1310 as a defense base for Brussels. The castle was damaged during the war of succession of Brabant (1356-57), but was repaired just after that. During the rebellion against Maximilian of Austria.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Beersel supported Maximilian, and the castle was sieged, taken and plundered by the Brusselians in 1489.</b> It burnt down and was partially destroyed, but restored after the war.
A tiled roof was added in the 17th century. The property passed by a series of marriages to the Stalle, Witthem, Arenberg and Merode families. A member of the latter family donated the castle to the League of Friends of the Castle of Beersel in 1928, which restored it. In 1948. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>ivita Castellana is a town in the province of Viterbo, 65 km north of Rome.</b>
Civita Castellana was settled during the Iron Age by the Italic people of the Falisci, who called it Falerii. After the Faliscan defeat against the Romans, a new city was built by the latter, about 5 km away, and called Falerii Novi. The abandoned city was repopulated beginning in the early Middle Ages, with the new name of Civita Castellana (roughly translated as "City of the Castle") mentioned first in 994. In the following centuries the city was a flourishing independent commune, often contended by the Pope and the Holy Roman Empire. Captured by Pope Paschal II at the beginning of the 12th century, the city was given as fief to the Savelli by Gregory XIV.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Sixtus IV assigned the city to Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, the future Pope Alexander VI, who started the construction of the Rocca ("Castle"),</b> which was completed under Julius II.
Civita Castellana became an important road hub with the connection to the Via Flaminia (1606) and the construction of Ponte Clementino after the French victory against a Neapolitan army in 1709.

<div><br><b>The first fortress, was built amidst the 6th century A.D.,</b> on land that had been inhabited during the Neolithic and Bronze ages or roughly 4000 B.C. It was constructed with yellow limestone and travertine and along with fragments of Latin inscriptions, assert the idea that the fortress originated from the Roman city of Skupi, which was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 518.</div><br/>
<div><br><b>The fortress is thought to have been reconstructed during the rule of emperor Justinian I and constructed further during the 10th and 11th centuries</b> over the remains of emperor Justinian's Byzantine fortress which may have been destroyed due to a number of wars and battles in the region, such as that of the uprising of the Bulgarian Empire against the Byzantine Empire under the rule of Peter Delyan. Not much is known about the Medieval fortress apart from a few documents which outline minor characteristics in the fortress' appearance.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Royal Castle of Ardenne (ChÃƒÂ¢teau Royal d'Ardenne, formerly also spelled "Hardenne") was situated in the municipality of Houyet in Belgium not far from the Royal Castle of Ciergnon. </b>The edifice was commanded in 1874 by King Leopold II of Belgium and was built after the plans of his architect Alphonse Balat. It replaced on elder hunting lodge erected in the 1830's on the same spot by Leopold I.</div><br/>
<div><br><b>King Leopold II wanted to promote the Belgian region of the Ardennes as a holiday destination for the international jet-set.</b> To this goal he had his chÃƒÂ¢teau converted into a luxury hotel. A railway station in the corner of the park made the remote castle accessible to tourists. An 18 holes golf course was installed in the park. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Castel Nuovo (Italian: "New Castle"), often called Maschio Angioino, is a castle in the city of Naples, southern Italy.</b> It is the main symbol of the architecture of the city. Castel Nuovo has been expanded or renovated several times since it was first begun in 1279. Before the accession of Charles I of Anjou to the throne in 1266, the capital of the Kingdom of Naples was Palermo. There was a royal residence in Naples, at the Castel Capuano. However, when the capital was moved to Naples, Charles ordered a new castle, not far from the sea, built to house the court. Works, directed by French architects, began in 1279 and were completed three years later.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Castel Nuovo.</b> Due to the events of the Sicilian Vespers, the new fortress remained uninhabited until 1285, when Charles died and was succeeded by his son, Charles II. Castel Nuovo became soon the nucleus of the historical center of the city, and was often the site of famous events. For example, on December 13, 1294, Pope Celestine V resigned as pope in a hall of the castle. Eleven days later, Boniface VIII was elected pope here by the cardinal collegium and immediately moved to Rome to avoid the Angevine authority.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Under king Robert (reigned from 1309),</b> the castle was enlarged and embellished, becoming a centre of patronage of art. In 1347 Castel Nuovo was sacked by the army of Louis I of Hungary, and had to be heavily restored after the return of queen Joanna I. The new works permitted the queen to resist the Hungarian siege during Louis' second expedition. The castle was besieged numerous times in the following years, and was the official residence of King Ladislas from 1399.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Smolenice Castle (Slovak: SmolenickÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â½ zÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡mok) is a castle in the eastern slope of the Little Carpathians, near the town of Smolenice, Slovakia.</b> The Smolenice Castle was build up in the half of 15th century, but it was destroyed during the Rakoci's uprising and Napoleanic wars. In 1777 the count Jan Palffy from Pezinok inherited the entire Smolenice but did not reside in the castle due to its poor condition and lack of money for rebuilding it. The castle was only rebuilt up in the 20th century, by order of the count Jozef Palffy. The architect Jozef Hubert projected the new castle by using the Kreuzenstein castle near Vienna as a model, and the works were controlled by the architect Pavol Reiter from Bavaria. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>During its construction there were masters from Italy, Germany, Austria and Hungary, and 60 workmen from Smolenice and nearby villages.</b> The main building has two wings and a tower, and is made of ferroconcrete. The castle was damaged in the spring of 1945 during the World War II, and in that same year the state became the owner of it. Some reconstructions have been made after 1950, </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.

<div><br><b>The Almourol Castle is situated in the small Almourol island, a rocky island, in the middle of the Tagus river (rio Tejo), in Praia do Ribatejo, a parish in Vila Nova de Barquinha, Central Portugal.</b> The castle was a Knights Templar stronghold used during the Reconquista. The site has been occupied since the antiquity. It is believed it was a primitive lusitanian redoubt and was populated from Roman times until the late Middle Ages. It is certain that in 1129, when Portuguese troops conquered the land, the castle already existed and was called Almorolan. The site was given to the Knights Templar, who built a settlement between the Mondego and the Tagus rivers. At the time, they were responsible for the defence of the capital, then Coimbra. The castle has been rebuilt, but it is assumed the architectural characteristics remain largely the same today.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Through an epigraph, placed on the main gate, we know that the reconstruction ended in 1171, two years after the building of the Castle of Tomar.</b> The two castles have several characteristics in common, both built in the same style of military Templar architecture. Both opted for a quadrangular disposal of the spaces. The high walls are protected by nine circular towers, with a jail-tower at the center of the structure. These last characteristics constitute two of the innovative elements which the Knights Templar brought to military architecture in Portugal. The jail, which appeared first in the 11th century in Tomar, the main Templar defensive redoubt in Portugal, is unusual in pre-Romanic castles. The jail tower of the castle of Almourol had three levels and was significantly modified over time, while it still retains important features. The design of walls with equally placed towers along the walls, was brought to the western Iberian peninsula by the knights.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Castello della Manta is a castle near Saluzzo, in Piedmont (northern Italy).
The originary building, dating from the 12th century,</b> was later enlarged and transformed into a noble residence by the family of Saluzzo della Manta, margraves of Saluzzo. Among the numerous halls, the Baronal Hall (Salone Baronale) has a notable relevance for the frescoes decorating its walls, a rare masterwork of Late Gothic painting in northern Italy. The work is attributed to an anonymous Master of Castello della Manta. The cycle, completed soon after 1420, portrays a series of famous heroical figures (both males and females) probably inspired to members of the House of the Margraves of Saluzzo, and wearing precious dresses of the times; and the so-called Fountain of Youthness, a theme taken from the tradition of French medieval stories. They are inspired to the poem by Marquess Thomas III of Saluzzo, Le Chevalier Errant).</div><br/>


<div><br><b>From the Mannerist Art of the late 16th century is instead the Sala delle Grottesche, commissioned by Marquess Michele Antonio around 1560.</b> It has a finely painted ceiling, decorated with stuccoes, grotesques, ancient ruins and architectures, in the typical style of that age.
Annexed to the castle is the church, whose apse has a series of frescoes about the life of Christ dating from the same time of the Baronal Hall decorations.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The chÃƒÂ¢teau du Hautanigsbourg is located at Orschwiller, Alsace, France, in the Vosges mountains just west of SÃƒÂ¢lestat.</b> The castle is nestled at a strategic location on a high hill overlooking the Alsatian plain; as a result it was used by successive powers from the Middle Ages until the Thirty Years' War when it was abandoned. In 1900 it was restored under the direction of Emperor Wilhelm II.</div><br/>
 

<div><br><b>It is unknown when a castle was first built on the site.</b> The first explicit mention that is known was in 1147. It took its name from the original KÃƒÂ¢nigsburg (German, "King's Castle") in 1192. In the early thirteenth century the castle passed from the Hohenstaufen family to the Dukes of Lorraine who entrusted it to the Ratsamhausen family who held the castle until the fifteenth century. A coalition of cities attacked and burned the castle in 1462.</div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Castel Nuovo (Italian: "New Castle"), often called Maschio Angioino,</b> is a castle in the city of Naples, southern Italy. It is the main symbol of the architecture of the city. Castel Nuovo has been expanded or renovated several times since it was first begun in 1279. Before the accession of Charles I of Anjou to the throne in 1266, the capital of the Kingdom of Naples was Palermo. There was a royal residence in Naples, at the Castel Capuano. However, when the capital was moved to Naples, Charles ordered a new castle, not far from the sea, built to house the court. Works, directed by French architects, began in 1279 and were completed three years later.</div><br/>



<div><br><b>Under king Robert (reigned from 1309), </b>the castle was enlarged and embellished, becoming a centre of patronage of art. In 1347 Castel Nuovo was sacked by the army of Louis I of Hungary, and had to be heavily restored after the return of queen Joanna I. The new works permitted the queen to resist the Hungarian siege during Louis' second expedition. The castle was besieged numerous times in the following years, and was the official residence of King Ladislas from 1399. </div><br/>

These jambs are ideal for conventional wood frame homes, masonry construction as well as for log homes or post and beam construction.

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.
