Black Forest bears from Germany at Gunnar Pettersson's stand #514 at the Antiquites Brocante at Bastille. The brocante ends at 7 p.m. today.
More Black Forest examples. If you missed the opportunity to visit Monsieur Pettersen's stand at Bastille, you'll have another chance at brocantes at Chatou in September and Bastille again in November.
A Morrocan bust on a wooden base.
Scientific and mathematical instruments and decorative frames.
"Vaseline" glass.
Hand-painted wooden boxes.
Souvenir treen from various regions of France.
More wooden treen, originally used primarily to hold toiletries.
Provencal pots for storing duck fat.
These little volumes are actually flashlights.
Seashell frame on an antique mercury glass mirror.
A shell-encrusted box.
A decorative beaded glass frame, mercury glass candlesticks and cranberry glass.
A porcelain menu placard for dinner parties.
An assortment of enameled objets d'art behind glass.
Frames galore in a glass case.
A handpainted wooden frame.
Decorative trays with vintage glassware.
And you have an unusual way of finding those beautiful handcrafted treasures.

The enameled blue bits and bobs, very nice!
Not sure what "treen" is. I'll have to go figure it out.
I have an old mercury glass vanity in my upstairs bathroom. I think it has a few images of olde trapped inside....!
LOL

I want to store my duck fat in one of those pots, and then reach for it when I want to make something shameful, like homemade french fries. : ) I know, I am a sad case. LOL : )

"No thank you" on the bears, but "yes please" on everything else. Especially sunflower frame and the angelic placecard.

Wow. What a lot of gorgeous stuff. Getting to go with you is almost as good as getting to go, myself.
I like seeing something in the background of one pic (seashell mirror!) and then seeing it featured later..........
Thanks for taking us along.
