Cabinet of Curiosities

In the Spirit of the Original Cabinets of Curiosities we have listed a selection of notable objects. Although more rudimentary collections had preceded them, the classic cabinets of curiosities emerged in the sixteenth century. The term cabinet originally described a room rather than a piece of furniture. Objects of natural history, ethnography, archaeology, religious or historical relics, works of art and antiquities. All lots listed at only $50.00 with no hidden reserve.
