Estate Sale

Very early this morning I drove out to a grand 1930's Colonial Revival just south of Charlotte for the final day of an estate sale. I prefer sales on the second day; fewer people, less craziness, and more time to view the beauty of the home. This one was incredible, with wonderful vintage wallpapers, 5 huge fireplaces, and fabulous gardens. Here are a few of the pieces I found...

early American chair, great patina with glimpses of original paint

vintage French market basket #1

#2

1950's heavy iron garden table w/fabulous quatrefoil detail

set of tiny blue cloth volumes by John Ruskin, published London 1906

1/2 dozen blue & white Quimper plates, Delftware reproductions commissioned by Old Salem's MESDA (Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts)

large brass gallery tray, homeowner's reward for winning the fifth flight @ Charlotte Country Club
