Natural Curiosities

I love the encyclopedic collections "Cabinets of Curiosities"....All these creatures from sea, land, air, flora, etc...were cataloged and now it's an illustrated book form too. However, during the Renaissance time, it was a room filled with all these goodies...Anyhow, going through my emails, I discovered this:

A box set of illustrations based on and inspired by the cabinets...how lovely would it be to have these wonderful illustrations hanging in my home. 14 illustrations for 59$....originally 168$. There's other sets available too...but I love the sealife series. One Kings Lane is the best site for high end home furnishings at sale prices....sometimes up to 70% off retail. It's like Gilt Groupe and HauteLook for the home...The bargain shopper in me is revealed.
