Our select maritime objects items can be divided into two groups: reproductions, such as historical coins, which we ourselves make by hand, and genuine maritime objects such as mussel shells. The descriptions of our arrangements always state whether the objects used are reproduction or genuine. If genuine, the place in which they were found is also given.

We search secluded bays, romantic beaches and old fishing ports around the world for objects both above and under water that capture the atmosphere of the sea. At Maritime Mystiques, we are proud that the authenticity of the objects we use helps to evoke a particular romanticism and atmosphere in our arrangements.
