This podcast reaches out to the heart of antique and art lovers and fills it with everything we love: history, beauty, social history and relevance and a beautiful reflection of what these experts love and why. So happy to have found it.
“Curious Objects” has opened my EYE to other areas of collecting. I have collected for years in very specific, relatively narrow areas of collecting. I LOVE discovering that there are people collecting OTHER beautiful things!
I was turned on to Dave Pottery in a museum in 2023 in So Carolina! I was enthralled!! I've seen it in two museums now. I adore Dave Pottery Including the pictures I took being in rotation on my E-picture frame. LOVE DAVE POTTERY.
Even when it’s a topic that it doesn’t sound like I would be interested in, the perspective, context and knowledge of the guests invariably make it a compelling episode. Top recommendation!
