The Allure of Antique Boxes
An intriguing blend of artistry and practicality, these versatile remnants of times past have been sought for centuries. Whether simply clad in unadorned wood or embellished with inlaid mother-of-pearl designs, they pique our curiosity about what lies within.
I simply love ‘collections’ of any beautiful and memorable items collected over the years with love and cherished experiences in the process.
My mother had a small collection of cameo pins that she started as a young woman and really loved each one for their richness of colour, beauty, and the memory of having received it. Her favourite was one that she found while traveling in Italy.
As for me, I tend to like collecting tableware items – china, sterling flatware and holloware, along with beautiful white embroidered linens for the table. Kitchens and Dining rooms have always been of utmost importance to me and I guess I strongly associate food with family !
Thank you Victoria for creating this special Classics issue of a new theme ! It’s quite lovely!
God bless !
