The owner looked pleased seeing Mira’s response, or maybe he just had a cheerful personality, as he began to describe all of the items there.
He started with antiques from the Katenov Era. They did not look like dazzling pieces of jewelry and precious metals, but instead were common items made as beautiful as possible through simple means.
A royal edict had been given in the Katenov Era to put art into all items, even those usually mass produced. Due to how common those items would be, there were not enough gemstones or gold and silver to adorn them, giving the rise to more simple things like carving and painting.
Craftbell, Coffee and Antiques had gathered many items from that time period, including a wealth of 『common』 items, small tools and utensils, furniture of various sizes, even doors and gates, all of which had been adorned and engraved to an almost divine level. They were proper relics of a time past, something more than mere antiques.
「I had heard stories about this Katenov Era, but I didn’t imagine it was filled with items like these…」
Mira was taken aback by that, carefully looking through each of the items on display. She was mainly looking for furniture spirits, but even she was impressed by the beauty of the items there. She quickly forgot her main focus, and just looked through everything available there.
「Hmmm… I couldn’t find any.」
