We seldom have the time to look closely at objects that are both decorative and useful that have been thoughtfully designed and made by skilled craftsman over the many years - drawer handles, coins, military buttons, and tiny, delicate gears inside clocks…I CELEBRATE THESE!
Please scroll through the photos (there is a small arrow on the edge of the photos) to find the tag that describes every item in the collage. On the brown tag I have divided objects into Artifacts, Antiques - over 100 yrs old, and Vintage - over 40 years old. I also have $ next to things that are valuable enough to sell separately, but I love using items that are really beautiful and don’t care if I use things that are too valuable.
This is a 6 × 8 shadow box with natural wood finish. I tried to make this feel more retro with the old Coca Cola bottle cap. The antiques in this are the Victorian brass back of a drawer handle that is rare now, and the escutcheon to an old Singer Sewing machine wooden drawer on a treadle machine. There are several types of cuff links, and small snaps from those older times.
