Discover a collection of French maps, terrestrial globes, modernist lighting , original watercolors, curious objects and historically significant artifacts which will bring soul to your interior.

Modern terminology would categorize the objects included as belonging to natural history, geology, ethnography, archaeology, religious or historical relics, works of art (including cabinet paintings), and antiquities.
