Welcome to my world of antiques and collecting, on this page you will find some stories about some of the objects present here on the site that I am particularly fond of, enjoy and read.
Gospel Book
This cover of a "Gospel book" in gilded silver with Rostov enamels I bought it in Moscow, near the KGB headquarters, in Lubianka square in an antique book shop, a "dom knighi" in Russian . It was kept in a display case in a back room and I remember that people queued to admire it, passed behind red velvet curtains and waited for their turn in religious silence !!!!!
Teddy Steiff
The Steiff bear that I am particularly fond of was bought in Vienna at a Dorotheum toy auction. It is a bear from the 1930s, has a particularity of two stamps and the last "f" is long, which means that it was produced between the two world wars
