Alas, this painted hanging cabinet was already sold by the time I arrived at Agape's special showing two weeks ago on Boulevard Raspail, Paris. Then again, I wouldn't have had room for it. The cabinet is resting on a zinc-covered industrial table.
Another wooden cabinet revamped to hold china and porcelain.
This armoire or buffet cabinet has been given a fresh new look with paint.
This Dutch wooden farm table would be a welcome addition to a big country house.
Items for gardening or a greenhouse are grouped together.
Isn't this metal card table and set of chairs wonderful? Imagine all the card games, conversations and laughter that have taken place around this table.
An elegant 19th-century escritoire or writing desk and chair. The documents on the desk were provided by yours truly.
Another hanging wooden cabinet that could be put to varied uses: perhaps hanging in an entryway or "mud room" or over a desk.
This rustic buffet cabinet holds a selection of white ironstone.
A rounded side table with wrought iron legs came home with me.
Perhaps this child's school desk would make learning more fun?
A leather traveling case and assorted glass toiletry bottles and jars, as well as a gilt candlestick comprise this tableau.
Plates from various French bistros in a metal dishdrainer, with tray.
Old school lockers and vintage overhead lights.
Wooden school lockers provide great storage in a kitchen or home office. The pillows are made of burlap potassium sacks.
A zinc file cabinet to help organise a home office.
An early 20th-century wooden baby bed certainly would grace any nursery, but would it meet 21st-century child safety standards?
I'm looking for unique French pottery to import to California and LOVE many of the peices shown in your photos. Do you have any idea who makes and/or sells any of this pottery? I love the antiqued blue and white pottery, as well as the more retro plates in the drying rack. Any info would be fantastic!

sigh....everything looks wonderful, very French, and fabulous!! If only our dollar wasn't so very low right now, or I lived in France! Thanks so much for feeding my French shopping need today.

OOh!! Everything looks wonderful- so 'typiquement francaise'!! (Know I have spelt that wrong-my french is very rusty...!!!)

Wonderful, all of it. I loved the potato sack pillows. The crib is wonderful too, but definately only for dolls nowadays.

There were so many things I would kill to have in my home. I'm surprised you didn't snap up the robin's egg blue dishes in that cabinet!!
I love the little table you took home.
that kitchen table... oh my. divine.

I have a new sage french country desk I want to antique. Any clue how? I love wood antique pieces. :) BIG HUGS

Oh I need smelling salts. These are wondeful. Those plates in the drainer - I have one of those with a screw on handle and it has labels from different cheeses painted on it. I got it from a cellar just outside Paris last year. It also has a matching plate just like the second one from the front in your picture. I am now ecstatic!
Wonderful, wonderful images - thank you.

Tara....
Is this lovely gem open in September??? *wishing, hoping, fingers crossing...please, oh please*
Posted by: My Melange | 27 June 2007 at 18:41
OK........I LOVE all of these pieces.......and now want to somehow find the dollars to purchase them all to put in a big old farmhouse that i picture sitting up on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.....and fill the place with books and flowers and wonderful music......well maybe not the lockers....but everything else.
now all i have to do is figure out how to earn the money...:)
great photos.

so many pieces just begging to be placed in an artist's studio to be filled with artists supplies....

I could almost just move in and live there! Your cafe table would look great on a balcony.

Gorgeouss stuff! So glad I stopped by!

It all looks great; what did you bring home?
Posted by: tut-tut | 27 June 2007 at 15:21
My computer's loading slowly again, so I can only see a few of the photos - but from what I have seen, looks like there were a lot of treasures to be had! It's always fun windowwhopping with you, Tara! xo
