DISCOVERING THE WORLD IN DETAIL
A collection of miniature objects

The three lots presented here, bring together a variety of miniature objects, each possessing its own unique charm. From a miniature silver tankard, to a small glass bottle, to an Italian oil light made of iron, they are made of various materials and of different origins. They were assembled by a passionate collector who, in the course of many years of collecting and discovering, was able to perfect his expertise in the field of early Kunstkammer objects. They show a small section of his collecting activity and are testimony to his broad repertoire. Entirely designed for close-up view and the quiet examination of detail, they lead the wandering thoughts to distant times and realms.
