Knick knacks Vol.5

Hello to all #monomad enthusiasts. Today I am continuing my knick-knacks collection. This particular collection consists of a variety of intriguing objects that I was fortunate enough to capture through photography. Each item has its own unique qualities, from the texture and color to the shape and size. It is truly a captivating set that is sure to pique the interest of any viewer. Maybe there is a red line for today's collection, and that would be antiques. A lot of people collect antiques and some simply have them as ornamental pieces. For me, it is always a treat to see an antique, especially if it has character and you know originality. Enjoy this gallery.

The predecessor of the car was a horse so it is no surprise you found them on the car bonnet as ornamental pieces. Many cars and car manufactories adopted horses as their logo or name of the car. Why not, it is fast and furious, just like a good sports car should be. However, the one on the picture is not neither fast nor furious, it is one of the early cars, so it was an achievement just to drive :)

When it comes to antiques there are many fan bases. Collecting can be addictive and stuff can easily get out of control. However, there is not only collecting when it comes to antiques, there is also design. Interior designers are well-known as antique collectors. They never know when their next piece will be fitted in most modern buildings. Modern and old go well together.

Chiped paint, rust, dents and bled color. What do people see in antiques? Character and story. We love stories, as especially if it is old ones or it has a long history. And when your story has an object to complete it, it is marvelous. Cars are probably one of the most common collecting antiques or rather called old-timers. The funny thing is, you can see how better were cars produced back In day. Materials are much more sturdier and it is made for last longing.

Porcelain dolls, with their delicate features and lifelike appearances, emerged during the 19th century in Europe, particularly in Germany and France. These dolls were crafted meticulously by skilled artisans, often adorned with intricate clothing and accessories.

One of the most intriguing aspects of porcelain dolls is the material from which they are made. Porcelain, also known as china or bisque, is a type of ceramic material that is fired at very high temperatures, resulting in a smooth, glossy surface. This material allowed doll makers to create incredibly detailed facial features, capturing expressions with remarkable realism.

Speaking of porcelain, we can't skip the true porcelain ;) Cups, dinnerware, and all in between. Prices for porcelain can skyrocket quickly. Especialy if the manufacturer is well-known and the collection is rare and old. The only downside is the fragility of it.

The last photo says it all. Antiques can be expensive, but also a good investment. There will never be more pieces out there. And if yours is well preserved it is worth collecting or daily using. You would be surprised how some stuff is better even if it is old ;)

If you are a fan of knick-knacks here is my first, second, third and fourth collection.
