Vindingo:
Love this discussion. I am glad you pointed out this unusual design.
I am not sure I agree that there is nothing in the Winterthur that looks like this, but that's ok [big grin]. The scroll leaning back is a bit odd looking but not out of character with the mantle profiles in the Winterthur house and there seems to be more influences drawn from the Winterthur house for use in the molding and details mastercabman has graciously posted.
I would be curious (anyone?) to know if the scroll is correct or incorrect architecturally and what the origin is.
