When I lived in France, I was always on the lookout for fabulous things. One treasured house in the Gard region of Provence is holding one of their auctions this Sunday..shall we hop on over? Book us on the Air France into Marseilles tout de suite, and hope le volcano stays quiet for little while longer. We don't want to miss this Provence auction.
Look at some of the fantastic objets we can bring home! Are you in?
yellow tole chinoiserie pagoda double birdcages, XXeme
quirky and enchanting signed bronze by Christian MAAS, XXeme...LOVE this!
six mahogany chairs, Restauration XIXeme..these could do nicely!
important trumeau mirror in green lacquered wood, epoque Louis XVI..
every chic home should have one!
stone and polychrome sculpture of St. Peter, XIVeme...for a hintof the religious antiquities in the home
bust of Mme Recamiere in marble, XIXeme..isn't she utterly elegant?
pair of Chinese porcelain urns in the favorite blue and white
pagoda village design...calling Beth Connolly (aka Chinoiserie Chic)!
confiturier in silver, antique..would be just the elegant little
sculptural touch in a simple, clean-lined interior
console in creme lacquer and faux marble, XVIIIeme..gorgeous
in your hallway, perhaps, Madame?
gorgeous collection of opaline glassware that would
look fabulous in a modern, white interior scheme
the faun of Pompeii bronze statue...just so we remember just
who we are and what we love!
stunning table from late XVIIeme...move over Vicente Wolf!!
***
our destination!
how we'll get there
what we'll eat there!
Eh bien, if we miss this auction, there will be another, and I will happily arrange a trip and tour, including helping you shop at the auction and flea markets and ship your things home, and a wonderful tour of the Provence region tailor made for you by me and my sister-in-law. What are you waiting for? We will have a fantastic time...allons!
