In design school I did a report of French architecture. Chateau de Chambord has a marvelous double helix staircase.

Another is a modern spiral that I have saved for years. It is made of concrete. Wonderful images you have shared, once again. pve One of my favorite spiral staircases is at “Shakertown” in Kentucky.

I think not only of their beauty and charm, but the fact that I need to run up and down every one of them several times to work off the holiday food fest! Now I'm looking at my staircase wondering if I could get them to curve around all by themselves?!!! Thanks for a great post as always, a joy to read!

I have always loved curved staircase and would love to have one in my own home one day. There is just something about it that is so welcoming...

I have always loved staircases, just go ga-ga for them. Weirdly though some of the lower ones posted with a view to them above gave me a bit of vertigo! So strange! Love your posts as always.
