                          By Hanna Crowell
PARIS, June 5 - After seeing the beautiful collection of home furnishings and decorative items at The Nostalgia Corner in Place d’Aligre, visitors agree that it is a necessary stop for anyone interested in antiques.
Established two years ago by Parisian antique collectors Jeremy Almary and Sandra Baude, the shop features European pieces dating back to the 17th century. What is fascinating about this shop is the effort it puts into displays. Items are arranged according to which part of the world they come from. Each vintage piece is also tagged with information about its composition, style, and the period in which it was made, thus allowing customers to appreciate the item even more.
"We would like people who visit our shop to be delighted by the beauty and artistic worth of our collection," Baude said. Because of this, The Nostalgia Corner has become not only a store, but also a must-see attraction for travelers to Paris.
With the business doing well, the proprietors plan to expand their collection by offering antique pieces from East Asian countries. "Within the next 10 years, we hope to provide our customers with a larger selection of antiques by including items from China and South Korea," Baude added. [br] Why was the article written?
选项 A、To introduce a new trend in interior decoration
B、To explain the history of antique collecting
C、To guide consumers in appraising items
D、To describe a successful business venture
答案 D
