antiques and the study of history represent a remarkable journey of discovery and reflection on our past. Humans have always had a fascination with preceding civilizations and with the background of the objects and stories of yesteryear. This knowledge gives us a foundation that enriches our lives ~ and then makes us thirst for more.
This fascination emerged during the 18th and 19th century after major archeological discoveries led to research into ancient civilizations, fueling an explosion of creativity, art, and style. This strong interest in history, antiques and art continues today ~ inspiring us to write this blog.
As if we have a private time machine, we will explore the centuries, travelling to ancient castles and villages in the search of the birth, origins and history of antiques and the antique furniture we love today. We invite you along on this fascinating & amazing journey.
Don’t worry ~ we are not going back to college ~ in fact these insights are not available in today’s schools. These tales are divulged and discovered by living with history and having the insatiable curiosity about the origins of everyday objects that furnish our homes and build our collections.
This is the mission of our blog, Mirroring History ~ to find the explanations and secrets of the past, bring more meaning to the present, and to inspire us for a greater future.
Nice work with the blog mate. I think your writing is very simple yet very engrossing. It is one of those blogs that makes you stay and read the entire thing.
