Panache antique and d’arts is a store, which embraces all of the historic luxury from all across the world. As a global citizen, I was very excited to be in a store in Vancouver that captures the global life.
Panache古董店搜遍世界各地，将所有历史珍宝囊括旗下。作为全球公民，我很高兴能光临这样一家古董店，网罗世间万象。

The owner of this tore, Mrs. Joan, showed some of the most unique pieces to us. These long case clock and wall lock come from Holland and dates back to ancient 17th century. They were made by rosewood and have beautifully crafted mosaics. She also showed another giant glass carbine that was also coming from ancient Holland.
店主琼女士向我们展示了店里最为稀罕的宝贝。这台立式座钟收自荷兰，年代可以追溯到古老的17世纪。钟盒由花梨木打造，镶有精工细致的马赛克贴面。她还给我展示了那个巨型古董玻璃橱，也是从荷兰搜罗而来。

There was also a fabric embroidery screen that came from Paris, which dates back to 17th century. It was framed by bright rosewood that was carved exquisitely and captured the faded velvet with golden embroidery. This showed the luxury and elegance of Paris that is difficult to find in the current world.
此外，还有巴黎织布刺绣屏风，也是17世纪的产物。屏风以花梨木为框，木架精雕细琢，上面的金线刺绣与褪淡的绒布相映成辉。这扇屏风恰好地反映出同时期巴黎生活的浮光掠影，而这样的优雅奢华恐怕已现世难寻。

My brain was wondering and filled with amazing history from all around the world as she started showing me ancient Chinese antiques. There were Chinese porcelain that was displayed together with 19th century oil painting from a palace and 19th century Italian Terracotta bust setting on an ancient Chinese craft table. This decoration was a mixture of global history and what an inspiration it was.
当店主开始向我道来一件件来自中国的古物时，我的脑海中翻腾着世界历史上的奇闻轶事。中华瓷器与19世纪的宫廷油画陈列在一起，而同样出自19世纪的意大利彩陶半身像则端坐在来自中国古代餐桌上。这些美妙混搭展现的恰恰是全球历史的糅合交杂，也是灵感的源泉。

I was embraced by amazing collections from all over the world and I became even more in love with the charming city of Vancouver. Vancouver really captures all cultures and embraces all history.
在世界各种精美收藏的围绕间，我更为温哥华这座魅力之城而着迷。温哥华不愧包容了万千文化和历史。

This truly is an amazing city to bring everyone together for a fantastic global lifestyle.
这样一座精彩的城市，将全球公民汇聚在此共享完美全球生活。
