What are Curios?
Curios are small objects which are prized for their rarity or distinctiveness. The term is short for “curiosity.” Many people keep a few curios around their homes, and they are often topics of interest and discussion at parties. Sometimes a curio comes with an interesting history, or it sparks conversation simply because it is so distinctive. In some cases, such objects are displayed in a curio cabinet, which sets them off to advantage while protecting them. Some curio cabinets are works of art or curiosities in and of themselves.
