Not a tiny fragment, nor a single sherd of pottery, but a full, voluminous Anglo-Saxon space from the 9th century at St Wystan’s in Repton, Derbyshire. The spiral columns - perhaps a memory of St Peter’s shrine. Holy air encased in stone. Betjeman’s words describe it perfectly.

330 anni fa, il 5 marzo 1696, a Venezia nasceva Giambattista Tiepolo. Tutto iniziò in Corte San Domenico, nel sestiere di Castello. Con i suoi affreschi – da Ca' Rezzonico a Palazzo Labia – ha trasformato soffitti e palazzi veneziani in cieli pieni di luce.

Pearl & Tortoiseshell Keys. A piano that looks like it belongs in a jewel box. ✨🎹 This lavish square piano (1853)—made in New York by Nunns & Clark—pairs an extravagantly carved rosewood case with a keyboard embellished in mother-of-pearl, tortoiseshell, and abalone. The Met notes that the naturals are covered in mother-of-pearl, while the black keys are veneered in tortoiseshell with abalone detailing. It wasn’t just an instrument—it was a status symbol, likely intended for display at New York’s Crystal Palace Exhibition (1853)

Childhood reading leaves scars. When I was lounging on the sofa, watching Scooby-Doo, I always had the uneasy feeling that my school holidays should look like this instead #WorldBookDay Artist: AN Buchanan

It’s World Book Day and a favourite of mine is Dodie Smith’s I Capture the Castle. Whilst I know that the Mortmain family would not necessarily have sported any Schiaparelli for me it has something of its spirit @RISDMuseum #1930s #fashionhistory

Toujours sidéré par cette Dame de Brassempouy (la Dauna de Brassempoi en gascon), en ivoire de mammouth, découverte en 1854 dans les Landes, datant du Paléolithique supérieur (vers -25000 av. JC), et qui constitue l'une des plus anciennes représentations du visage humain.
