Meanwhile, back in the 1680s, tacky kitsch crap collecting was all the rage.
Skymall, eat your heart out.
The only difference is that this stuff is actually collectible, as opposed to "collectible". It's probably worth a fortune and its survival is also a sure fire indicator that this person does not live with a cat.

I'll admit that's a bit much! However, maybe having just a few of the items on the mantle to tie in with the gorgeous fireplace tiles would look really nice. And can you explain what those two mirror-looking things are that are hanging down from either side of the fireplace?
Obviously these folks don't live in an earthquake zone.
Too much! I say that because all I can see is lovely porcelain, most definitely, but way too much dusting! xoxo
Katie, much as I'd love to say they're a matching pair of Wedgewood spanking paddles, regretfully they just swivel to the horizontal and then across to the grate and you place the hot beverage of your choice atop of them to keep it warm.
Petra, we do have earthquakes over here but they rarely do more than dislodge a chimney pot. Oddly enough, those piles of cups look like the Chinese earthquake detector at Blickling Hall.
With you all the way, Savannah. WAY to much dusting. xoxo
Ha ha, Savannah, isn't that the truth!
Wow, those are drink warming paddles! I never would have guessed that. And I agree with everyone that dusting these 1680s tchotchkes would have been a never-ending job.
