Whether you are curious about what something is, how it was used, or why people thought it was important, Material Culture Club is here to enlighten you. If you have a puzzling piece at home or see something you cannot fathom at a resale shop, chances are I will cover it here or have already done so.
Whether discussing the street paving materials of Victorian london or the first synthetic silks of the late nineteenth century, every material and object has a story and a context. Don’t miss it simply because your ancestors didn’t remark on it and explanations have been lost to the mists of time.
