i am in love with unnecessary detail. when every inch of a surface is peppered with the kiss of an artisan's hand, so you can see, and feel, and touch the love by which it was made

So a very unique purchase I made during hiatus… a pair of antique prosthetic arms I basically saved from being sold as lamps?? They were most likely made between 1900-1930, though one professor I reached out to says they might specifically be WWI era or thereabouts which is grand cos I’ve been getting very into WWI medicine, specifically prosthetics and plastic surgery, these past two years. Definitely a great addition to my collection regardless! They are two left arms produced for two different people but by the same maker in France and came with a swivel joint and hook, ring, and brush attachments.

This week’s treasure find at the day job: autograph book belonging a Miss Mabel in 1886. Particularly charmed by that derpish bird.
