Black finds in my petit cabinet de curiosités

To end with my black posts ( even if I never end with it).
I wanted to share with you some XVIII th century engravings ( black) , there are my new find of the week end and I also found something I particularly love and that make a perfect decoration for my petit cabinet de curiosités : some plaster body's parts from a famous sculptor's studio

plaster hand and foot from an artist studio and 8 XVIII th engravings from anatomy for painters

I'm very happy of my finds , all this week my post will be about " le cabinet de curiosités " mood

Oh Melanie.... you have treasures in your "cabinet"... I love it all. The engraving of the skeleton is so clear and wonderful and the plaster hand and foot are fascinating pieces. Are the hand and foot quite old? What a fabulous collection to show us!
bisous!

I have been so busy I have been lax in visiting. I am enjoying catching up, all the fantastic fabrics, the black and white patterns...I've been playing with black and white.

AND, oh my...this image, the plaster hand and foot on the wonderful illustrations. LOVE this one!!!

I have been looking for a hand and a foot for Ghost Furniture for about a year now and you have both - Lucky You.

Beautiful post Melanie. That hand and foot speak to me. I adore the hand especially. How could you ever end the important topic of black? Never!!

A real pleasure to read all your latest posts at once!
My favorite is the vintage fabric with the black chairs.
Somehow I wouldn't feel at home with a hand or foot. ;-)
