Also discover in this section the spirit and the intriguing charm of cabinets of curiosities and travel journals from the end of the 19th century.
The principle of the cabinet of curiosities disappeared during the nineteenth century, replaced by official institutions and private collections. These have still played a large role in certain scientific disciplines such as entomology or conchology.
A cabinet of curiosities was a place where collected objects were stored and displayed, with a certain taste for heterogeneity and the unseen. Commonly found in these cabinets of curiosities were medals, antiques, objects of natural history (such as stuffed animals, dried insects, shells, skeletons, shells, herbaria, fossils) or works of art.
Appeared during the Renaissance in Europe, cabinets of curiosities (Italian studiolo) are the ancestor of museums and museums. Both private (private collections) and public (institutional collections of veterinary schools, medical schools), cabinets of curiosities have played a fundamental role in the development of modern science even if they kept the traces of popular beliefs of the time (it was not uncommon to find dried dragon's blood or skeletons of mythical animals). The publication of catalogs which made the often illustrated inventory, made it possible to distribute the contents of the cabinets of curiosities to European scientists.
Disappeared in the course of the 19th century, the cabinet of curiosities resurfaced in our interiors through the cabinet of curiosities decoration. For lovers of collections, these curiosities and furniture are a must, creating a unique and charming atmosphere.
The cabinet of curiosity is the piece of furniture par excellence for lovers of collections, who seek to exhibit and store their objects with refinement. The principle for creating a cabinet of curiosities spirit at home is heteroclism allowing any object to be brought together harmoniously, with a particular staging, which will highlight its uniqueness. In a cabinet of curiosities, the use of a glass bell accentuates the museum’s side of the collection. Accumulation is at the heart of the aesthetics of a cabinet of curiosities, where a lack of taste is welcome to accentuate the incongruity. The unusualness of the collection in a cabinet of curiosities opens the way to a certain poetry, since the essential lies in the emotion aroused by the object as a symbol.
The cabinet of curiosities decor is an invitation to travel and dream, through memory and memories, where the object tells a story, that of the world, of man or of oneself. The cabinet of curiosities must create a gap between the objects, as well as with the rest of the interior. Whether your interior is contemporary or traditional it does not matter, since the cabinet of curiosities fits in with elegance. Do not hesitate to create an atmosphere of a cabinet of curiosities around a piece of furniture, with pedestal tables and seats, to create a space devoted to discovery. To decorate a wall, the accumulation of frames of different formats, one-way mirror is a nice nod to the aesthetics of a cabinet of curiosities decoration. Why not accentuate the mystery, with a staging of witch mirrors. A magnifying glass can stand on its own, magnifying a detail in unexpected ways.
Contrary to the refined and uncluttered aesthetic, the cabinet of curiosity decor brings together the natural world and the cultural world, through a theatrical collection, which says a lot about its owner. Passion and curiosity are linked in this aesthetic of heterogeneous and unusual accumulation.

THE LEGEND :
During the Arab domination in Sicily, in the city of Palermo there was an Arab suburb called "La Kalsa".
In this small suburb lived a beautiful young woman who spent her time tending to the flowers on her balcony.
One day a young Moor was walking under the lady's balcony. He noticed the beauty of the young lady and he fell in love with her.

Ceramic Vase, Woman Moor Head
€800.01Ceramic vase, head of a Moorish woman, Sicily - Italy.
Handcrafted in ceramic, double fired and hand painted in Italy.
The moors were members of Muslim people of North Africa, of mixed Arab and Berber descent. In the 8th century they were converted to Islam and established power in North Africa, Sicily and Spain, where they established a civilization (756–1492).
THE LEGEND :
During the Arab domination in Sicily, in Palermo city, there was an Arab Suburb called "La Kalsa".
In this small suburb was living a beautiful young lady who used to spend her time in taking care of the flowers on her balcony.
One day, a young moor was walking down the lady's balcony. He noticed the beauty of the lady and he truly fell in love with her.
He did not wait a minute to declare his love for her, and the beautiful young lady, impressed by the lover's boldness, started feeling the same love.
Unfortunately, the young moor was already married and was father of a few kids... as soon as the young lady found out that he would have left for going back to his family, she waited until the night and killed him while he was sleeping deeply. She cut his head and used it as a vase for her plants, so that she could have him forever by her side.
As the beauty of this vase was magnificent, all the neighborhood wanted to own a similar one.
From that moment, they decide to create ceramics moor heads as vases.
