Interesting that the lamp is lit! The shades are quite lovely also. I wonder about you standing there to photograph all this...the shopowners should give you a special discount...
Just yesterday there was a TV program about antique shops, showing that a few smart guys do their shopping in the Belgian vide-greniers and resell in Paris with a fair profit... :) God bless you! Cezar
Antique stores used to be fun 'cause once in awhile you could pick up a treasure that others had overlooked ... no more. The people that run these places know EVERYTHING about antiques! And the stuff they sell is usually very expensive. Still I love some things - the smell and feel of solid old wood, for example. Don't find much of that anymore.
J'aimerais bien faire les antiquiares un jour avec toi ! J'ai l'impression que tu les connais bien. Celle-ci est tres sympa. J'aimerais bien avoir une lampadaire comme ca. :)

Battling antique stores! I like Grace's post yesterday and yours today. I don't have any recent photos from antique stores, so I can't join the fray.
Eine Oase.
Das Wochenende gut dir.
Love the view from inside a shop! The couches look fabulous :D
Oh la la! Very classy Ciel .... I love the pretty chair in that gorgeous tangerine colour.
It is so small. I suppose the building itself may be an antique.
Did you find any treasures?
The lamp is like a tripod !
Les antiquaires intimidate me. I love looking in the windows but rarely enter the shop. Brocantes are more my thing. Are there any in Versailles?

A lovely serene image complimented by the music which accompanies your blog. Thank you.
Ce qu'il propose n'est pas vraiment antique.
@ Randy: I didn't, but my Mum did!
là, on est chez un antiquaire, Grace etait plutot dans une brocante, ce me semble..Pas les mêmes rillettes! :o)
@ Malyss : me parle pas de rillettes, ça me donne envie d'en manger...

So, where are you to see such a sunset?
Where ever we travel, we bring back new things that add so much to our world.
a very fine reply indeed.
Looks like the place has been dusted recently. Are you sure this is an antiques shop? :))
I love the rich (and presumably expensive) wood tones.
The chairs look quite comfy, I can imagine relaxing in one with a good book.
Elegant, cozy and sweet!

These places can be fun. You never know what you will find inside.
Great post.
Darryl and Ruth :)
I love spending time in little shops like this.
