French Botanicals From 1929

You may have noticed this beautiful arrangement of framed French botanicals
 in a few photographs that have appeared here before.

 They belong to my girlfriend Paula

 and hang on her family room wall.

I remember when Paula first laid eyes on these beauties.

It was years ago and at the time we shared a small booth

 in an antique mall in Essex.

These gorgeous French botanicals dated 1929
 were in an elegant booth of another dealer in the mall.

Paula loves the sepia tones of these beautiful pieces of art.

 I adore the lovely old French script.

She tried to resist...

...but was no match for the charm and beauty

 of these fabulous works of art.

  

Paula fell deeply in love...

...and brought them home.

They truly bring the outside in...

...as they are displayed here on the wall of her cottage.

 Happy with her investment in these works of art....

...they have graced the walls here for the last six or eight years.

The time has come though...and
Paula has reluctantly decided that she must let them go.

This set of nine framed French botanicals is being offered for $1,800.

If you are interested in learning more about these pieces please
 contact Paula directly at brusopaula@gmail.com

SOLD !!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!


Helping my bff by getting the word out 
that she is parting with some of her treasures...
Hoping to put her in touch with a few of my blog friends
 who may be in a position to purchase these works of art
 and who may love them as much as we do!


What do you think?
Aren't they gorgeous?


Hope you have a great weekend.
Have you any interesting plans
 or is everybody still cleaning and organizing?

Antique French Bee Skep For Sale

If you have been following along with 52 FLEA for a while...

...my good friend Paula is no stranger to you.

Her charming home has been featured here many times.

Paula has been my number one antiquing and junking partner

 for the last ten to twelve years.

  We have shared a lot of adventures and awesome trips

 to antique shops, flea markets,

 big shows like Brimfield and Bouckville

as well as local New England yard sales.

We have had a lot of fun and found many treasures.

 As you know,  I am just beginning to part with a few of mine

 through my little booth at Schoolhouse Treasures

 in upstate New York.

 Paula has now decided to part with a few of her special pieces.

...and I thought I could help her out by posting a few things here.

Paula has amazing taste and over the years has found some really unique things and made some exceptional purchases.

This French bee skep with its unusual square base

 has been one of my favorites.

I took it outside to photograph it from all angles

 and so that you can clearly see the details. 

This beautiful antique French bee skep was not purchased to re-sell.

Paula bought it from a wonderful shop that featured authentic French treasures, because she loved it.


I think this piece is so special...don't you?

French square bee skep price $495
plus shipping costs
For more information and serious inquiries
  please email Paula directly at brusopaula@gmail.com

Thank you....the bee skep has been SOLD!

Since Paula does not have a blog of her own
 and since so many of you have come to know her through
 52 FLEA I thought I could help her out and perhaps help you,
 if you are one of my blogger friends who love her style,
 by putting you in contact with each other.

Over the next week, I will be showcasing a second antique bee skep

 and a group of wonderful French botanicals from the 1920's that Paula will offer for sale.
