French chic.....






I bought these lovely French candle sconces yesterday at the monthly, midweek Antique Fair in Hexham, Northumberland.....

Along with a gold painted spelter figure of Mary....






A couple of  French department store bag handles....the French ladies would hook the handles around the string of their parcel making it easier to carry....... very clever....






And a most beautifully painted glass bottle with enamel detail all the way around. Unfortunately the neck has been damaged, but I had to have it regardless......





A la prochaine.....

    The wall sconces are beautiful. I also very much like the statue of the Virfin Mary. Lovely finds!
