I believe items displayed in your home should tell a story AND have history. That's why i try to focus on items that had/have a physical purpose or were created by mother earth over millions of years (such as medical,industrial,salvage,movie props,and fossils).These types of items were actually used by our ancestors and others have been around since dinosaurs wandered the earth. These items in my opinion not only are
beautiful but are also WELL MADE/have stood the test of time but have a HISTORY you can feel and seewhen being around/viewing the piece. You feel a sense of pride when owining these items. This cant be said for some item you picked up at your local mall/trinket store.
