French Gilt Furniture #3 -- New Shipment!

These divine French antique and vintage bergeres, sofas, vanities and nightstands are one of a kind French gorgeous! And they'd really add some sizzle to a room as these classic pieces have original patinas from being distressed from years of sunlight, love and everyday household use. I love the Louis XV, Louis XVI and French Provincial Designs. They were found throughout Europe and in the French colonies... most are late 1800's to the early 1950's. The burlap and heavy linen is simply fabulous looking.

A Pair of Gorgeous Antique Chinese Lamps

These fabulous Chinese vases are delightful...of course, I found them in October on the antique buying trip in England. Use the zoom to note the masterful fine lines and brush strokes found on these Chinese vases. An artist with a sure hand painted these. Just gorgeous. One-of-a-kind pair.They measure 11" high to the top of the vase.

Historical Christmas Doors of Portsmouth, NH

I feel very lucky to live in the fabulous city of Portsmouth, NH. This charming seacoast town was settled in 1630 and by 1679 was the colonial capitol.... later, Paul Reeve road here warning the British were coming. Needless to say, we have some excellent examples of early American architecture and most of it is found in the South End around the Strawberry Banke side of town where I live. Note the wonderful bulls-eye glass around some of the doors and the different architectural elements. Many of these homes are from the mid 1700's and up.
