Shopping on Saturday

With summer approaching I have been thinking and dreaming about garden urns and decorative lawn decor – not pink flamingos – but beautiful aged pieces that reflect French summer homes. Appley Hoare Antiques, a well established shop on Pimlico Road in London, is the place to shop for just such items. Daydreaming is always an option as well. Disclaimer – I have no personal hatred of pink flamingos.
A beautiful hand carved wooden table lamp with aged creamy paint and distressed patina. Made in Italy.
English 19th century cast iron urn on original pedestal.
A large French iron wine bottle dryer on original wheels. Cica 1910
Pair of 18th C Cotswold stone spheres/finials.
Wonder if they could ship those stone spheres to me.
Leave it to you to discover such unique garden treasures.
For a small fortune!
The store looks beautiful–love the English 19th century cast iron urn–the scale and patina are fantastic.
I just ditched the urn effect this year, after a few years of it. I want something more angular and modern. I do love the spheres. I bought a tightly woven one I’m going to put in the garden and see what decides to move into it.
love the wine rack….LOVE!
Love the bottle drying rack!! I have been oogling one in an antique shop near me for two years now. I have vissions of using it in a zillion different ways. If only….!
Oh to have a private garden filled with all these goodies!
Oh, so many lovely things!!
