Seller's Story
Hi!
I collect and preserve objects with a past — porcelain, silver, amber, coral, minerals and vintage jewellery that still hold a story.
Every piece that comes to me is treated with care: I clean it, study the hallmarks, verify the materials and gently restore it when needed. For me, this is not just about selling — it’s about protecting something that has survived decades and deserves to live on.
I believe such objects shouldn’t be forgotten or thrown away. They need a new life and a new person who will feel their value.
That’s why on Catawiki I only list items that have been carefully examined, with precise measurements, weight, age and an honest description of their condition. I pack everything by hand and with great care — as if I were sending it to myself.
My goal is simple: to make sure small pieces of history don’t disappear, but continue their journey — in new homes, new hands and new stories.
Best regards, Lady Porcelain.
