Our Story

From contemporary art and sculpture, to natural history and antiquities, the Extraordinary Objects collection contains a carefully curated selection of unique pieces, from the contemporary to the pre-historic. There is no specific genre that defines the collection, and each object is chosen for it's extraordinary nature and the sense of wonder it invokes. Extraordinary Objects celebrates curiosity and adventure. We believe that an individual's collection is a physical expression of their personality, and that the objects within that collection reveal a unique story about that person. What do want your story to be?

Extraordinary Objects founder Carla Nizzola has over a decade's experience in the art world. An artist herself, Carla also managed one of the UK's leading contemporary galleries for seven years, before deciding to follow her passion for curation. Extraordinary Objects was born out of Carla's life-long passion for collecting not only art, but also natural history, antiques and curiosities. Fossils, antiquities, and minerals have always been displayed alongside contemporary artworks in her home, giving an equal appreciation to every piece, and showing how works from different genres can compliment and elevate each other. Extraordinary Objects is an extension of Carla's personal collection, and the objects offered have been sourced from relationships she's built over many years as a collector.
