Ocean Antiques

An ardent love of antiques & the ocean • Especially fond of Georgian & Victorian jewellery, sentimental pieces, boxes, & books • Personal collection

Ocean Antiques • The relationship between the ocean and antiques isn't an obvious one, but through my personal passion for both, I've discovered so many magical ocean-related antiquities.

Smooth sands • That blissful feeling of the sand between your toes.

The ocean, open water, and that lovely skin-to-sand feeling, all make me think of calm and being free.

Sestini • I've always loved the moody blues in this portrait of Giovanna Sestini, Italian soprano opera singer, by Ozias Humphry.

Sestini is portrayed as Terpsichore - Greek goddess of dance and the dramatic chorus 🎼

The colours are perfect inspo for my branding project 🌊

Falling into place • One of my favourites by Charlotte Freeman, #momentaryhappiness

It's been this part inspiring me recently — 'Maybe it's because you begin to realise that no one else but you can get you where you want to be' ⚓️

Absolutely love this piece ⚓️🤍👑

I’m sunk on this Child & Child brooch - coming to our Fine Jewels sale at @HHRAuctions on 9/6. C&C were a brief blush of a company at the end of the 19th century, start of the 20th, & made fine pieces which are now very collectible. Now to research the hidden meanings….

I N S E C T S • I'm currently watching #TheLawAccordingtoLidiaPoët

Keen eyes will notice the beautiful insect-themed jewels Poët wears. The hidden meaning of #insectjewellery fits her interests perfectly 🪲

@BritGems I think Edwardian necklace, Victorian ring and contemporary earrings. All gorgeous but the necklace is my favourite 😍

@GreatArtandDes1 Lovely. And isn't the case itself absolutely gorgeous!
