old botanical prints.





hand colored 19th century botanical engravings.
price: $20- each.







i love how the prints show their age against the white mat. each of this set of four botanicals comes in an old bare wood frame with a certificate of authenticity on the back:






ornate frame with reproduction miniature.
price: 22-



silver framed ballerina print.

price: 15-
my favorite new things this week at leftovers:



child's schooldesk. paris. 1924. the top-opening desk makes me think of hiding toys, bubblegum, and comic books (in french of course) to hide behind your textbook in class.
price: 155-



"Lady's Chair". 1940's. This chair is a STEAL at $42-. i think it would perfectly complement a room shared with the salmon pink silk antique reproduction couch shown in the background.


Here's a sneak peek of some of the lovely things that have been arriving all week from our new star consignor (of a staging decoration company).







lovely german kitchenware in bright colors, vases, flowers, and holiday decor are all at the sutter st. store now!
