More gorgeous items have arrived since my last posting of garden antiques for sale at the nursery. Actually, most of the earlier pieces I showed here are now gone ! To my amazement, we have had to ship large amounts to tasteful clients in Calgary, Winnipeg and Los Angeles . These people know that these unique pieces are unique and once they go, they are gone forever. Here is a smattering of our newest arrivals ….
This is one of the nicest benches yet. It was made in Arras, France and bears the signature curved iron slats and paw-like feet of that region’s famous garden furniture. It measure 60″ x 32″ x 21″D and is $1800.00 Canadian dollars.
Here is a ‘faux bois’ water fountain , also from France . it is plumbed to be permanently hooked up to water, somehow….. but could be reworked to use a recirculating pump. It is made of cement, and measures about 3′ tall. It is $1500.00
I love this very rare old tin urn. It is American, with a beautiful verdi gris finish . Quite lightweight. I wouldn’t plant right in it, but use a tub or liner inside to prevent splitting. It is 40″ H x 28″ D and is $1950.00 . Remember : the Canadian dollar has fallen more than 25% this year…… try going ‘shopping’ !
This 1930′s American glazed boy fountain was destined for my own greenhouse…. but I changed my plans. He is 29″ high and presently spouting away inside our big greenhouse at the nursery.$1400.00
This urn is solid, hand carved marble . It is French,19thC, and measures 20″ x 16″ H. I wish there was a pair …. but there is not. $1400.00
I really don’t want to sell this – hopefully it will just sit here for years…..planted now with ferns. It is a very large faux bois cement planter from France. Measuring 38″ x 14″ x 14″, it will only get more beautiful with age .$1850.00
Can you tell which of these ‘Putti’ is hand carved stone, from Vicenza, Italy ? The other one is cast cement, more than 50 years old, and from England. One costs $2500.00 and one costs $1200.00….
More to come ! But drop by and drool soon.
