Florentine Curiosities

Florentine Curiosities For those with a love for the weird and curious antiques and the journey they have enjoyed over time this is the page for you I am a life long treasure hunter.

I am a young qualified art restorer. I studied art restoration in Florence Italy, where i gained a great appreciation for the age, patina and charm that comes with it. There I learned the importance of the preservation of historic items and the necessity to maintain that history in the passing of time. Each of my items comes with as much of the history as i can find. I have deep curiosity for the

story of an item and the journey it has taken, the twist and turns of their journey as they get tumbled from person to person and place to place. I love to hunt for hidden treasures and always have. To me there is a special charm about the chance encounter when i find an item and how it has made its way to my hands. When i was a kid i would spend my days in the forest looking for fossils and stones , semi successfully and this love has stayed with me for a long time. There is nothing i enjoy more than finding an interesting charming piece of history, I have an eye for charm, colour and age. I have a love for the charming, weird, and curious .
