The dangers of window shopping...

Every now and then you fall in love: 
you can't help it, it's usually love at first sight... 
and then you do something completely irrational... 

Last Sunday i went to the flea market to see if i could find some chairs for my dinning room table: the idea was to look for some  miss matched  old chairs...  i saw a few (very expensive ones) i sort of liked, but they needed a lot of  work and that were not a must... 




so i continued window shopping and snooping around antique shops... when all of a sudden i saw these:


French Art Decó Walnut Night Tables 
with floral carving and a marble top 

Needless to say  i did not need them, but i measured them, asked about the price, did a quick sketch  and wrote down the details  in my moleskin, asked if i could take a picture, open and closed the doors... 


i am impulsive, 
and when i fall in love with something (and if i can afford it) 
i just lose the rational person i usually am and jump for it... 
so there i was, purchasing 2 night tables i didn't need, but absolutely felt like i had to have and completely HAPPY!!!
 (Plus they delivered them the same day!!!)

Aren't they GORGEOUS!?!?!

...who said window shopping wasn't dangerous?!?!

Edgar Brandt Iron and Alabaster Lamp       Edgar Brandt Iron and Alabaster Lamp

Edgar Brandt Iron and Alabaster Lamp

Item #893
Here is a very special piece by the father of Art Deco iron work, Mr. Edgar Brandt. It is signed on the foot E Brandt, typical of how his work is completed. The metal and wiring is all original with a very cool bakelite on/off switch. The alabaster shade is new but has been copied to those used by Brandt during this time, French circa 1928.
