We continued our antique hunt with a visit to one of my favourite trade stores which is always brimming with delightful and interesting antiques. And all presented with flair. Above is a 19
th century rocking horse...very primitive in form but quite stylish. It is French and dates to around 1850.
The rusty French antiques sign on the exterior of the store.
I bought these vintage sweet jars in a wooden crate. It is very hard to find so many together.
Other French jars held spools of cotton of various colours. An instant collection!
I can never have enough white or cream china. Gorgeous French oyster plates in the shelf above.
A collection of wooden milliners heads in pigeon holes. I have never seen forms such as these. They are German and date to 1900. Nice shelving too...
A painted chest of drawers with character and a collection of pond yachts.
A collection of colourful drums. I bought a lovely French
cherrywood elm dough bin today with lovely carving. Tomorrow I am going to a small trade fair and I hope to have more great finds!

ReplyDeleteHi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteWOW!! You are a long way away. I have just caught up on this post and the previous one. Wish I was there with you, so many gorgeous things to see.
So many unusual things, like the milliners heads, but I think my absolute favourite are the drums.
Can't wait to see what gems you find tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing and safe travelling.
Take care

Everything looks beautiful - though if I had to pick, I'd definitely give that rocking horse a wonderful new home! ;)
