As a vintage collector for over 20 years enjoying re-crafting or 'up-cycle' as its now known, gives such pleasure. The restoration work takes many forms, restoring and reusing a whole manner of products, rejuvenating and breathing life into mirrors, wooden objet d'art and even jewellery to be admired and adorned once more !
Originally this piece would have been made in the 1950's, do you notice the original reclaimed crystals? Today we crave Czech and Austrian crystals and even way back then the quality was outstanding. From the bin to boutique one more piece of history survives with a lot of tender loving care and a bit of 21st century Eccentrica magic !
