I am still being careful about getting out very much but a vicarious trip is always safe! And in my book that means a trip to my favorite spot for antiquing...the
Queen of Hearts in Alpharetta, Georgia! Want to come along?
One of the first things I spot is this collection of chunky candlesticks in pretty tones of antique grey. They would make a fabulous statement on a mantel!
And have you noticed...succulents are everywhere! The season doesn't seem to make a difference. I love that little wreath!
And here's a larger one with flower pots...reminding me of my own
FLOWER POT WREATH!
If you know me, you know I love tureens and the details on this one are especially pretty!
And I love the octagon shape of this one!
Here's an unusual way to display a group of cuttings...maybe flowers in the spring.
And you know I love the bunnies...
...and this family of sheep!
Copper pots always draw me in! I love their patina.
And here are some more displayed with a Provencal print that just calls my name!
I always have to stop and visit any Victorian quadruple silverplate that I see. You can always find such unusual pieces! I love the oak leaves and acorns!
And here's another one in a pretty sugar bowl! If you learn to recognize it you can always bet that it's over 100 years old since quadruple silverplate was not made past 1900.
Here's a fun idea...displaying small faux trees in vintage silver champagne buckets.
The shape of this antique French clock caught my attention...
...but it was the unusual color and shape of the works that was really amazing!
And I leave you with this piece and a question...any idea what it is? The tag didn't reveal its purpose and I am curious! If you have any idea, please tell me!
And stay tuned...I found a little something else while shopping that I am sharing next time!

Debbie, I always love tagging along on your antique trips. I think that last piece is a barn cupola that would be used atop a barn. It's an interesting piece for a garden shed too.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm drawn to white tureens. Did the first one have a mark or label? Curious who makes this gorgeous piece. Did you take it home? I also love the Victorian quadruple silverplate piece. I'd be tempted on both of these beauties. Thanks for sharing.
Debbie, wish I’d been with you on this antiquing trip! Do you recall the price of the framed print of the rabbits?
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm sorry...I don't. I love it, though!
DeleteI think it's a cupola.
