"So unusual and unique!"

This unique combo keepsake box and book holder is exquisitely crafted. It made the perfect milestone birthday gift for my dearest friend and bibliophile! At some point, I may well have to give myself the same gift!

"This Mirror has Moved With Us"

We bought this mirror almost10 years ago, but I didnt think of leaving a review. This is a meticulously crafted mirror, and we had assumed the mirror would deteriorate over time (as do many mirrors sold these days). However, this mirror has stood the test of time, and we were so enamoured of the design, that when we moved, we specifically told the buyer that the mirror was coming with us. The nickel surround has not tarnished and the item is still beautiful.

"Fantastic brass gecko."

This brass gecko was clearly made by an accomplished craftsman (Khalid Ali). The gecko is exactly as advertised, and I have nothing but praise for Khalid Ali and his work.
