My home, like yours, is a work in progress...constantly changing.
After my last post I found this pair of reproduction processional lanterns on Craigslist!
The Blackamoor sconces will go to our bedroom...
What's not to love?
Side View of Processional Lanterns...
The first time I ever saw a processional sconce was in Emeril Lagasse's home, decorated by Tara Shaw and featured in Veranda.
I was smitten.
This pair, found on 1st Dibs, is $9,800!
This pair, also found on 1st Dibs, is $12,000!
This pair, from Christie's, sold for $5,794!
As you can see, the cost was prohibitive!
Until...
Craigslist!
$100
For both!
Yay Craigslist!
Again...

oh lady, I need a craigslist 101 from you. That settee is on my ultimate wish list. I just saw a 18th century French armoire on craigslist and immediately thought of you.
ReplyDeleteThe sconces are perfect for that spot. They are absolutely beautiful. Did you have the hands that hold them already? It is all so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat find Andie and once again, thanks so much for sharing...
Fondly,

The Craig's List Queen strikes again! *winks* The Processional Lanterns are Divine and I only Wish I possessed the Skilled Editing Hand and Eye that you have for Decorating! The Room is Magnificent! Blessings from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian
ReplyDeleteTwo posts in two days! I've been thinking and thinking about how to make the finial on top of the clock look better. There needs to be a progression in size. I feel it needs to be on a block of wood maybe set on another block of wood to step down. Do you understand my point? Love the goose though!
ReplyDeleteTHAT CROWN. THAT CROWN. THAT CROWN.
ReplyDeletep.s.- I love the sconces too, but you know-- priorities.
