A traditional Japanese Naga Hibachi, expertly designed with a central charcoal heating compartment and integrated drawer unit, embodies the warmth and connection that fosters community and togetherness. As a cornerstone in traditional Japanese homes, the Naga Hibachi served as a portable hearth, cultivating meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging. Its thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship, often featuring premium woods like Keyaki, made it a cherished piece of furniture that brought people together. Asking price $800

These antique, double-sided, hand-carved Chinese wood panels, featuring intricate high-relief figures, floral motifs, and landscape scenes in a gilded finish, were traditionally used as window grilles or interior partition screens in affluent Chinese homes. The craftsmanship reflects typical Qing Dynasty techniques, where artisans would carve complex scenes from wood and apply layers of gesso and gold leaf to highlight the details, often depicting folk tales, historical figures, or auspicious natural settings. Asking $1500

I am currently listing some items on Marketplace, and had to take the time to share this gem with you all!

This is a vintage Museum of Atomic Energy neutron irradiated dime souvenir holder with a 1964 (90% silver) irradiated dime. This one in particular is from the 1960’s, most likely from 1964-1965. Back in the 1950’s-60’s, with the rise of atomic energy, irradiated dimes were a hot souvenir at Oak Ridge, Atomic Energy Museums, and during the 1964-1965 World Fair! A 90% silver dime was passed through a neutron source, briefly making the silver radioactive to show the process of neutron activation. The level of radioactivity was extremely low and decayed completely within minutes of the process. Then, once irradiated, the dimes were placed in either a case or a souvenir dime holder, like this one! Please take time to read the following article for more information!

I wanted to take the time to share with you all this gem, circa summer 1991. That adorable little rough and tumble tomboy you see is a three -going on four- version of yours truly.🙂 And the gentleman in the bibbed overalls is Steve Lowrance, my father that passed away recently. He is the the one to whom I owe for my blind leap of faith to leave behind a 16 year long career in nursing, and deciding to establish Old Souls Trading Co. I own all of the growth in my business journey so far, and all it will continue to become.

He instilled in me his love and appreciation of all things old and the many stories they share. He taught me about antique tools, and how they were used, which instilled my appreciation of true craftsmanship and the value of hard work. I owe him for teaching me how to restore antiques, and to take pride in my work. You will notice in the picture, my hair is tied back, ready for work. I loved being able to help him, and all he taught me. Dad will live on through Old Souls, and will be a motivation to help me build it to accomplish my dream for it and it’s true purpose.❤️
