Antiques Week Part Two: FRENCH STYLE

There is definitely no shortage of gorgeous French antiques at the Texas shows. And I for one never grow tired of seeing them. Many of the creme de la creme of dealers come from all across the country to sell their finds. Most of these dealers travel to Europe during the year for their inventory and have shops and design centers in areas such as Houston, Atlanta and Dallas.

At dinner one night I met a wonderful antiques dealer from Dallas who decided not to go to France this spring just so she could come and shop the Marburger Show. That speaks volumes doesn't it?

Oh how I adored this dining table and chairs. Notice the seats? Notice the dreamy color? What you don't notice was the really big price tag. And I mean seriously big. As in new car big.

This beautiful vignette of antiques was from Gwen McClure of French By Design. She's based in the Kansas City area and has impeccable style. Her bottles are on the cover of the current issue of Somerset Life. So pretty!

This tattered French chair above was from Shelly of Sweet Pea Home. She actually had a matching pair and they were marked SOLD before the event even started. Seems she couldn't bear to part with them and kept them for herself. Can't say as I blame her. 😉

If I had thought of it, there could have been an entire post just on chandeliers. I have shot this building countless times on my trips to Texas. It's always dazzling!

I really enjoyed all the garden antiques and vignettes. There were old faux bois planters, large troughs, iron plant stands and objects d'art for your garden landscape and many were planted so beautifully.

Well, that does it for this addition of Antiques Week Part Two. I think my wrist now has carpel tunnel from uploading all these photos. I sure hope you enjoyed my take on French Style. Let me know what you think. Would love to hear which pieces you really liked. Up next…Neutrals!
