Sometimes, just for fun, I like to visit 1stDibs and browse through the “curiosities”section. They have such a great number of peculiar things and I fall in love over and over again. Above, an oversized etched bone elephant from India. Wouldn’t she look darling in a child’s room?
Hand woven Cameroon Beaded Dance Aprons, 1940’s
Bell Jar (circa 1880) Filled With Modern Birds’ Eggs
Large “Lettuce” Coral on Coquina Stone Base
Taxidermy Iranian Mouflon Ram, 1940’s
18th Century Child’s Cabriolet, French
Imperial Russian Court Ermine Cape, 1875-1890
Pair of Bulbous Shaped Genuine Barnacle Table Lamps
Wire Hot Air Ballon Model, French Circa 1900
Oh, I love the barnacle lamps…I may trade the shades out. I also really like the Cameroon Beaded Dance Aprons and Bell Jar filled with Modern Eggs, fun find!
Thanks,
Jaime
I’ll take it all!! well, maybe not the Russian Cape, though it could come in handy one day…
I expect John Jr. to accept strolls in nothing other than his 18th century cabriolet. xxx
I’m really digging these wild finds. The elephant I think is my favorite, but I can’t stop thinking about what could be done with that wire hot air balloon… It’d look pretty with some flowers growing in it.
IWANTTHATBALLOON!

Love that you all love these. There are so many fantastically quirky finds on 1stDibs. I’ve always been an accessories obsessed girl so it’s a bit like a candy store as far as I’m concerned!

i love all of these!! but that balloon is calling my name!
Love oddities and curiosities of all sorts, maybe not the taxidermy…except in old castles…!
