Inspired By Oliver Hoare’s exhibition, ‘Every Object Tells A Story‘ this Summer I was reflecting on my own favourite objects. The Antiques I could never part with…
When our son was three he was hospitalised for three weeks with Meningitis. We ended up becoming bed partners in hospital. At his bedside, during his long hours of sleeping, I spent time trawling the internet for antiques and found this bust of the Greek stoic philosopher Chrysippus. I am anything but stoic, however it seemed appropriate at the time and is now like a beacon reminding me how lucky we were with his recovery.
