objets
Small collected valuables
Objets is the plural of objet, a French borrowing meaning decorative objects or items of artistic value.
The word appears almost exclusively in the phrase objets d'art—small artistic or collectible pieces displayed for aesthetic appreciation: The shelves were crowded with objets d'art from her travels.
Using objets alone sounds pretentious but occasionally appears in design contexts: carefully arranged objets on the mantelpiece.
