Antique French and Spanish Madonna crowns and tiny Louis Phillipe scales for measuring gold are among the ever-evolving collectibles in my Napoleon III cabinet de curiosités. I'm lucky to have seven bound Arts & Crafts volumes of The Studio, featuring Aubrey Beardsley illustrations. Click photo to view detail.

Are those Arts and Crafts Studio books the ones we saw at Vanves several years ago and that you went back for? I love having a peek in cupboards! They take me to wonderful and magical places!

What a lovely collection in your cabinet. The crowns are gorgeous, as is everything else. Isn't there something so beautiful in very old books too? Jim definitely enjoyed his beautiful book he received for Christmas.
