After leaving Danish Country Antiques, I stopped into Churchill & White (no website yet) a few doors down that seems to focus on chandaliers, lamps and accessories. There was an incredible selection of antique lighting but I was really taken with the beautiful convex sunburst mirrors.

This large one below was probably four feet across. And it's all metal so I can't even imagine how much it weighs.

These were certainly nice to see but I was hoping for a black-framed mirror so I headed down the street.

Upstairs Downstairs (also no website) is a quaint little shop that seemed to have a nice selection of moderately priced vintage and antique items. I've always loved this pond boats/ship models and this one was a beauty.

But my favorite piece was this barley twist table. It's not my favorite color wood but I love the legs and graceful curves of the apron.

My last stop was a shop that carried very formal, highly decorated pieces but this HUGE clock face was the star of the show. You can take this beauty home for $14,500.

Or this smaller model might suit you better for $8500.

But I think I need to go back and buy something. I just can't leave it behind.
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteMy power was out for most of the day yesterday so I missed your first post. You must love living in this historic city. How far is the downtown from your place?
I adore the post office and all the little buildings. We have a pretty downtown area too. I always want to get up early and photograph it but I can never pull myself out of bed to do it.
I love those convex mirrors. Were they expensive. I'd love one for over my sofa. How did you resist buying anything!

ReplyDeleteThanks for all the eye candy! Boston is such a great town. I sometomes miss living up there. I miss the smell of the soil in the spring and the smell of leaves in the fall. In your last post you said you were going with climbing hydrangeas. I didn't even know they had a climbing variety. That's one of the plants I miss, I've been trying to grow them here, definitely challenging. What did you goback to buy??
