Buttons : over the timeJuly 25, 2010 at 16:22 Another little gem presented in the cozy setting of the Mona Bismarck's Foundation. This captivating exhibitionis due to Loic ALLIO presenting its own collection, the most eclectic and complete in the world. I have known this wonderful collector for a long time when he used to come into my shop hunting for antiques buttons and when he talked with erudition and passion about the building of its collection. We recently bump into each other at the Vanves's flea market and had the chance to discuss his exhibition project. On Saturday afternoon, he was attending the exhibition, welcoming the many visitors, offering them magnifying glasses to let them observe the details, adressing with patience and sweetness every question. He was kind enough to offer be my guide and pull the thread over the time between exhibited buttons. I am so grateful to him. I urge you to visit this exhibition while you are in Paris. It is a wonderful journey. Inscribed on each button, as Balzac wrote in "Lost Illusions" a great little story ! http://www.monabismarck.org  |
