Antiques in Fall Decorating

Antique Letter EngravingJust returning from our latest antique buying trip ~ where we found amazing treasures for our online antique store as well as our Dallas, Texas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana showrooms ~ there is now a multitude of antique furniture, antique accessories, antique lighting, antique art, mirrors and much more being loaded into our future containers. (More details of our buying trip to come later in future blogs) We have already shipped 18 containers full of antiques this year, and anticipate reaching more then 20 antique shipments before year’s end!

Culinary antiques, antique accessories and antique paintings all take center stage, beautifully blended with autumn colors.

We hope you are inspired to showcase your antique collection, whether rustic or elegant, with elements of the fall harvest.  For example, creating inspired centerpieces for a pleasing look in the entryway, or atop an antique buffet as a focal point in your dining room, can be most dramatic.

Some quick tips for seasonal tablescapes:

  1. Group your collection in the center, arranging it in various heights.
  2. Fill containers with berries, mums and foliage.
  3. Place fruit, pumpkins and gourds at the base of the grouping.
  4. Keep in mind the dining table centerpiece shouldn’t be taller then 14 inches or so.

This antique still life of seasonal splendor is truly worthy of the Dutch masters…

Antiques in Style is a source of joy for me to create, and hopefully will be a source of inspiration for you! The variety, artistry and history of the antiques and vintage pieces that surround us every day provide pleasure, beauty and sometimes even intrigue.

The classics never go out of style, and each era, country, and even artisan's interpretations create an environment that is always full of surprises.

It is truly a pleasure to bring such timeless style together for every client and follower of my blog. And of course, your input is always welcome!
