The Cabinet of Extraordinary Objects


A new addition to the online shop is The Cabinet of Extraordinary Objects. We'll be constantly changing what's in the cabinet (in January we will be showing an exciting collection by an 'amateur anthropologist').

It's the perfect space for showing two new collections; a collection of jewellery by award-winning Irish jeweller Eily O'Connell and the magnificent Miniature Victorian Hothouse Kits.


Eily O'Connell casts organic material such as claws, crab shells and twigs in solid recycled silver to form sculptural necklaces, bracelets and earrings.


The palm-sized Miniature Victorian Hothouse kits are designed by a firm of architectural model makers in Glasgow.

The kit comes with everything you need to have your own botanical garden including a seeds and a tiny little disc of growing material - just sprinkle with water and keep in the light.

Both collections can be found in The Cabinet of Extraordinary Objects
