I'm a bit emotional because I'm an interior designer, a bit emotional because wow, 16th century and I get to touch it. Isfahan in Persia, this is where this was made. I'm kind of choking because I am very emotional. Oh my God, 16th century, guys, so beautiful. So you find something like this in museums, obviously. And again, look at the use of colors. Like, we've been using colors for many centuries, maybe ever since this Earth was invented. I mean, I love using colors in my design, and this is absolutely stunning. It's probably one of my favorite piece in the showroom. It's again a masterpiece. It's a work of art.
