Like minds! I wrote about the history of trompe l’oeil a few months back. I also have an obsession with decorative plates and that second plate for $3 is 👌🏻

I learned something new today! I’ve seen the term trompe l’oeil before but never knew what it actually meant. “Trick of the eye” feels like such a poetic way to describe it. There is something so delightful about pieces that make you pause and look twice.

Now I’ll be keeping an eye out for them when I’m sourcing for my vintage shop. Thank you for sharing this… I love when beauty has a little surprise tucked inside.

Ooh, I love tromp l'oeil! So fun. I love the crumpled-looking wallcovering! Thanks, Virginia!

Lovelovelove trompe l'oeil and can't believe you found one of those draped plaster lamps! A favorite designer for trompe l'oeil in fashion is Roberta di Camerino!
