Again, most men do not like shopping, probably because they don’t know for what they are looking, that’s why you are reading this. The other day I found two Fragonard prints for £350. Who’s Fragonard you ask? It does not matter my son -- just grab them while you can! The thing with antique stores, especially small ones, is not all the antiques have providence. In other words, though the shop tries its best to appraise the worth and history of the piece, sometimes they underestimate the value and you can pick up a real antique, one that belongs in a museum, for 1/20th of the actual worth of the piece. |
At Overmantels.co.uk I found a beautiful pair of antique 19th century girandole wall mirrors for only £1675. A bit pricey, you say? That’s darn good considering the mirrors are 19th century!If you have the means and are planning on buying furniture anyway, why not buy a nice antique wooden canopy bed for you and your partner. Think about it, it is very regal. The bed in the feature film Elizabeth engaged me - there is something safe about it. I’m not referring to the boat in Elizabeth though - that was quite unsafe, especially for her guardsmen. Sheer fabric of a light colour is a magnificent way to add the finishing touches to the bed. She won’t leave you out in the cold after this one, trust me.
