objet d art nouveau

For all the Shopaholics out there, (me included),
we are having a feast today!
Even though I have an Antique/Home Furnishings
store (95% of my inventory is Country French Antiques
and Brocante), I still carry some new items.
All my Home & Garden furniture is antique and
many of my accessories are unique, one of a kinds.


Some things just have to be old and French, like the
circa 1860 Vasselier above.
But then for some things, new isn't bad. In small
doses mind you.
I know many of you also have stores and finding
the right vendors can be a time consuming process,
so ...in the future I will share with you some of my
favorites. No need to fret if your not a retailer.
I would be more than happy to sell to you, as these
are items we also carry.


The items above are from New Creative
I love the little crystal candle holder and tea stained pillows.
They also have several old window frames with botanicals
in the glass. Perfect for those Shabby Chic,
cottage style decors.
Great glass apothecary jars to hold your corks and who
can resist the scrolly iron photo frame?
My favorite has to be the galvanized bulb pans!
Their price points are pretty good, so you can't go wrong here.

These photos above are from Napa Home & Garden.

Now if you happen to be dango over Boxwoods (like me),

Napa's are wonderful. The best I have found,

(for the price). They are real preserved boxwoods.

Moss covered chargers (Très jolie) and a huge selection of

mercury glass! They also carry the famous Anduze Pottery

from France in a multitude of colors. Garden relics and

great faux lead containers.

Next we have Studio Vertu .

They have over 800 styles of wonderful Italian tumbled

marble coasters. The artwork is amazing on these little

treasures. There is no end to what you could do with these.

Just how many shadowboxes do you have?

Then there is Guildmaster

My heart be still. A real Old World look and great quality.

Beautifully painted tin boxes, simple iron chandeliers,

wire dress forms, florist tins, architectural fragments,

weathered crowns, and hand painted doors. Love

those patina's.

If you happen to like a bit more color, they also have

some fun whimsical items like the ones pictured below.


I love their lamps and gingham candlesticks. Juggling

pins and French style artwork. You really should check

them out.

Danielson Designs has to be the best for signs and frames.

If you are in to the weathered look, search no further.

All sorts of inspirational signs and many in an autre langue.

I bet you spend some money here! Just a side note too...

I have a wonderful signmaker in France that uses old

weathered, original painted wood to make custom signs.

If you can imagine it..we can do it !!

If your taste runs more to the Romantic Old World visit

the Peninsula Home Collection

Paneled doors painted with archangels, muted plaques

with paintings framed in gilt. Ooh La La !

And Sia, a "high fashion" European home decor supplier.

Their collection includes some wonderful lavender

accessories and table linens that resemble old

French ticking.

Wouldn't those squishy peaches look great in the natural

stick basket? They do have some great fruits. Little petite

cantaloupes, just like in France.

Realistic roses in moss covered pots and natural twig urns.

I love the little wood bundles and they also have a nice

selection of shells.

And lastly, if your looking for moderately priced, nice

quality pillows, Peking Handicrafts is it.

Loads of needlepoint and embroidered

pillows, nice tiebacks and a host of other accessories.

Just a tad bit French don't you think?

Hope you enjoyed the photo's, courtesy of the

websites listed and maybe you found a new

vendor?

I'll share more with you in the days to come,

just in case you don't make it to High Point.

AND if you do go be sure to stop by the

EJ Victor Showroom to see the

Carol Hicks Bolton collection. Their displays

are always amazing!
