Whilst pouring over a BBC Homes and Antiques magazine recently, I was amazed by how many items featured within its pages can be found in our antiques store...
Wonderfully informal dining room...mirror made from a reclaimed window. BBC Homes & Antiques February 2010, page 53
Victorian pine arched mirror, also from a reclaimed window. At the moment this mirror is in the garden room in our store, my favourite room!
Beautiful bedroom! Love the silk cushions. Check out the vellum suitcases in background, great to stack and for storage. I have some Asprey ones at home stacked on my chest of drawers.
BBC Homes & Antiques February 2010, page 48
Stack of vellum suitcases in our store, vellum hatboxes are particularly hard to find. The french ladder is now at home in kitchen - couldn't resist!
French glass cloche and mother of pearl opera glasses
BBC Homes & Antiques February 2010 , page 42
French glass cloches in our store with found objects - coral, shell and deer antlers. The cloche at the back is huge.
The magazine also had riding boots with wooden trees, mule chests, large storage jars, jelly moulds and fruitwood bench seats. Of course, it does help that we travel overseas to find our goodies and particularly look out for the quirky and aesthetically pleasing objects. We leave for our next buying trip in a few weeks. We plan to post some photos as we go.
I am not sure if I am entirely justified in calling this child's wheelbarrow the cutest in the world, but it has to be pretty close to it. We found it in the Nottinghamshire area of England on our latest buying trip and couldn't resist it for our shop. It most likely belonged to a very fortunate child in the late 1800s on an English estate. When it sells, we will be very sad indeed. But it will start a search for another one!
