I'd like to acquaint everyone with one of my favorite local antiques stores, David Skinner Antiques. Located in the Antique District on King Street here in Charleston, this store is filled with spectacular pieces of furniture and exceptional chandeliers and sconces. They also sell online via 1stDibs...
An absolutely unbelievable 18th Century French Regency chandelier... this spectacular piece is what David Skinner Antiques is known for...
A pair of 18th century Italian side chairs... I've been dying for these chairs for a few months now... I'm able to stare at them each time I walk by the shop and am dreading the day they find their new home, which unfortunately won't be with me...
This is my current obsession... an Italian Empire Chandelier...
The photograph doesn't do it justice... it's the perfect size, unusually small for a fixture of such high quality.
Love the exuberance of this papier-mache stenciled and gilt tilt-top table by the London firm of J. Ennens and Bettridge...
This Italian bronze fixture with a Capo di Monte cockatoo is definitely one of the most unusual chandeliers I've ever come across... the high quality of the materials keeps it from being overtly kitschy, but it definitely maintains a sense of humor...
One of a pair of New York Empire pier tables... love the black marble columns and gilt paw feet...
Ok, am selling my first born for those chairs!
ReplyDeleteAn Antique Dealer friend sold a pair of New York pier tables like this one. I wonder if this is the same pair.
