Are you a showcase collector or a cupboard collector?

The French author Sacha Guitry once said with humour: ‘There are two kinds of collectors: those who hide their treasures and those who display them. You’re either cupboard or showcase; I’m showcase.’

How can we bring to life the treasures we cherish?

To hide is to keep, maintain, admire with heart and soul, while to showcase is to communicate, share, and praise with joy. One might prefer safety, confidentiality, or discretion, while others may enjoy displaying, recognition, and the pleasure of exchanging with many people.

Every collector has their unique opinion on how to grow and perpetuate their collection, so how can we bring life to the treasures we cherish?

With Objais Select these two worlds come together!
