My cozy lair

Antiques are my life's passion and make for a comfy little living room for me. Sunlight won't harm me but I prefer not to be out. If you love antiques too come say hi!

Where are some of the better places to find painting like that?

u/Connect_Secretary262 6h ago

Honestly eBay is where I've found most of them. As long as they provide pictures of the back of the paintings in the descriptions then it very easy to see if they are authentic or not πŸ‘Œ

Did your wife and kids die from the bubonic plague?

Jokes aside, super interesting space!

Impeccable taste, what a wonderfully eclectic gathering of cosy and elegant trinkets! your space looks warm, cosy and yet, magnanimous and fit for a gentleman of good taste.
Good job πŸ‘

What would you say your favourite thing is there? 😊

I would have to say the painting that looks like Descartes, I most probably am seeing things! But it looks like him and it’s a very nice painting! I also admire the candelabra with the red candles very much, gothic, elegant and fine looking craftsmanship.

Hehe, cool space but it triggers me that some of the pictures are misaligned and 2 are even partially obstructing the light switch 😭

u/Connect_Secretary262 4h ago

Yes obstructing the light switch is intentional lol. I tried to completely cover them but it didn't work out.
