Every object tells a story.

The world is full of things. We do not propose adding more to the mountain. We propose carefully choosing the things that share your life. We are fans of the surprising stories that objects can whisper. When we weed out the things that do not accompany us in this way, those we keep become more meaningful. The charm and magnetism of an object of delight might arise from their previous lives if they are old, or from the freshness of the maker's vision if they are new. We here at materia mundi are hunters and gatherers. We bring you artifacts old and new from across history and the world, things that tell stories, things whose stories you might wish to add new chapters to, things that we hope will spark inspiration and intrigue, things that will beguile you.
