Few, Specific Objects: Telescope, Clock, and Traces of Travel

A set of truly used colonial objects. A brass monocular telescope on a tripod by the window, a brass nautical clock hanging on the wall, a stack of dog-eared books and a pair of reading glasses on a side table, a wide-brimmed straw hat hanging on a hook by the door. They are scattered in different positions, and each item shows clear signs of use. The quantity is small. Avoid: adding ivory, animal horns, and hunting trophies, using brand new antique decorative props, displaying objects concentrated on shelves, making the number of objects so large that they become a themed backdrop.

一組真的被使用過的殖民物件。一具黃銅的單筒望遠鏡放在窗邊的三腳架上、一個黃銅的航海鐘掛在牆上、一疊有摺角的書與一副老花眼鏡放在邊桌上、一頂寬邊的草帽掛在門邊的掛鉤上。它們分散在不同的位置,每一件都有明顯的使用痕跡。數量很少。避免:加入象牙、獸角與狩獵戰利品、使用全新的仿古裝飾道具、把物件集中陳列在架上、讓物件的數量多到變成主題佈景。
