Trend Alert: Natural Curiosities

8


A while ago, I showed you home décor that followed in the fashion of The Book of Plants. To balance all of that flora with some fauna, today I have some décor ideas that seem influenced by Albert Seba's Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. Since his book sits right below The Book of Plants on my coffee table (it's a great distraction for kids at dinner parties), it seemed only reasonable to follow up on my first trend alert.

Seba's book is one of the 18th century's greatest natural history achievements and has been reproduced by Taschen for everyone's viewing enjoyment. It features an incredible (and often fantastical) collection of animals, plants, and insects from all around the world. Check out the widget below for some of my favorite Seba-inspired finds.
