The past promises many insights into the beauty of our world. Over the centuries, humanity has created a multitude of unique objects, sculptures, tools and artifacts made from a variety of materials to date. These witnesses of the time captivate through their historical and cultural significance, as they shed light on how humanity evolved. Craftsmanship and creativity are impressive here. Whether simple tools, magnificent weapons or detailed carved sculptures, each of these works has its own character and a charm that fills entire spaces. You can find simple objects of bygone eras, as well as magnificent and golden decorated caskets, vessels and much more. The famous Roman busts depict numerous ancient people, who enchant by their purity, while gods and kings of ancient Egypt score with richly detailed ornaments and colourfulness. It is irrelevant whether they are functional works that emit only little luxury, or prestige objects that demonstrate richness. Each of these objects radiates its own zeitgeist, which has relevance to this day.
All these works can be found in the category of photographs of old objects. From Ancient Egypt, to Roman sculptures, ancient tools and weapons, every viewer will find a representative of his personal taste. All the works bring the charm of bygone days to every room they decorate and offer an insight into past epochs and their culture. Each individual work seems to tell a story that takes the viewer into the past and reports on extraordinary artists.
