Antiques Throughout History ~ Prologue

Initial Aantiques 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. SignatureInessa

    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.

Antiques in Style is a source of joy for me to create, and hopefully will be a source of inspiration for you! The variety, artistry and history of the antiques and vintage pieces that surround us every day provide pleasure, beauty and sometimes even intrigue.

The classics never go out of style, and each era, country, and even artisan's interpretations create an environment that is always full of surprises.

It is truly a pleasure to bring such timeless style together for every client and follower of my blog. And of course, your input is always welcome!
