The Story of Objects

Kelly  |  May 02

My favorite part of my job is collecting old objects for prop styling or weddings. There’s something so cool about owning a little piece of history… These guys I bought in England and are turn of the century or before. The shape was cast in a mold and then they were hand etched and plated with silver.

I’m particularly enamored with tarnished silver at the moment (which you can find by the boat load at many antique stores). They speak of the way people used to use to live… I mean who really uses a proper silver tea set anymore? Its something about the romance of the time that does it for me…

This pink milk glass perfume bottle with its dainty flowers is so delicate and pretty… I wonder who it belonged to, would they wear it only for special occasions or everyday? So, do you find objects as facsinating as I do? I’m sure all the art historians out there do…
