French Cabinet de Curiosité
Discover a collection of French maps, terrestrial globes, original water colors, curious objects and historically significant artifacts which will bring soul to your interior. Cabinets of curiosities, also known as 'wonder rooms', were small collections of extraordinary objects displayed to entertain, create wonderment and satisfy curiosity with delightful pieces. The term cabinet originally described a room rather than a piece of furniture. 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.
