Stepping into the category of Bric-a-Brac is like pushing open the door to a small, old-school antique shop, filled from floor to ceiling with all sorts of odds and ends, peculiar curiosities, and things you never knew existed. Some call it curios, others unnecessary dreams, and a third sparkling knick-knacks. But regardless of how you label it, you can expect the unexpected. At Gomér Andersson in Linköping, that's exactly what we're served. Here you'll find a French perfume bottle shaped like a miniature telescope, an Italian micro-mosaic bracelet with the most intricate design, and a patinated dog's head that turns out to be a letter clip. Master smith Isak Gråsten is responsible for a 200-year-old copper spoon, Guldsmedsaktiebolaget for a fish-shaped business card tray, but who put together that wooden cookie cutter from the 19th century, well, nobody really knows. Welcome to tread this miscellany of items like astronauts on a foreign planet, all fitting under the umbrella term of Bric-a-Brac!
