the Amboise staircase


I have seen this classic stairwell design in a several homes in Amboise.  The top handrail is carved to be in uninterrupted continuous flow up the steps.  You can see the same in this staircase in the château in Tours.  The steps and landings are all solid wood although I don't know of what type.  In any case, I like this one so much because it's the one in our house.
