A sculptural Art Nouveau letter opener from the turn of the 20th century, featuring a stylised horse head seamlessly flowing into the blade. The organic lines and integrated form reflect the elegance and symbolism of the fin-de-siècle period, where desk objects were both functional and expressive.
Cast in brass with a beautifully aged patina, this piece has a quiet, poetic presence — equally at home on a writing desk or displayed as a small sculptural object.

A refined and timeless object, where movement, craftsmanship, and symbolism meet.
A soulful early 20th century mirror framed in a deep mahogany-toned wooden frame with a quiet architectural presence. The frame’s stepped profile gives the piece a sculptural quality while maintaining a restrained elegance typical of Northern European craftsmanship from the period.
The mirror retains its original glass, beautifully marked by time. The gentle foxing — the fine speckled patina that develops as the silver backing slowly oxidizes over decades — softens the reflection and creates a subtle atmospheric depth that modern mirrors cannot replicate. This natural aging is highly valued for the character and authenticity it brings to a piece.
A piece that carries its history quietly — simple, authentic and full of character.
Condition
Very good vintage condition with beautiful age-related patina. Original mirror glass with natural foxing and gentle spotting consistent with age.

A beautiful trio of sculptural floor lamps composed of natural capiz shell discs. Early 2000s.
The translucent shells softly diffuse the light, creating a warm, pearlescent glow that feels calm and atmospheric.
Each lamp varies in height, making them perfect for layered lighting — placed together as a sculptural group or styled individually in different corners of the home. The organic pattern of overlapping shells adds texture and quiet luminosity both day and night.
Elegant beside a lounge chair, in a bedroom corner, or near a low console where a gentle ambient light is desired.
Condition
Good vintage condition with light patina and minor age-related wear. Fully functional.
