Victoria The Art of Collecting

It may start with just one special piece that catches your eye and captures your heart, stirring an affection that quickly grows into an assemblage so dear, its sentimental value is beyond calculation. Whether it is a passion for exquisite linens, sterling silver, or fine English china—or simply the thrill of the hunt—that entices us to sift through old attics and antiques shops, estate sales, and European brocantes, we are kindred spirits, linked by an unbridled fervor for curating our favorite things.

The Art of Collecting: Personal Treasures That Make a Home, the newest hardbound keepsake from the editors of Victoria magazine, brims with page after beautiful page of the variety of heirlooms that have illuminated our pages since the very first issue. This pretty parade of compositions offers both a visual treat and valuable information, as well as ideas for displaying your own cherished items and inspiration for all the collections yet to come.
