TO MARKET, TO MARKET

To market, to market...but not to buy a fat pig! Lolo was looking for buffets, bergerès and bonnetieres.

No bonnetieres at this market, but baskets, benches and bedside tables were plenty.

And though he didn't buy a fat pig, it seems he did get the fat hog!

PREFERRED SEATING

Select your seat! Whether you prefer Art Deco leather club chairs with a wonderful aged patina or an Os de Mouton canapé, Lolo has found your preferred seating. Take a peek at a few of the fabulous seats that will be available in our shop soon.

Pair of Art Deco Leather Club Chairs
Nailhead Trim
Rolled Back

These classic club chairs exude luxury and character, evoking an era of gentlemen's clubs, when well-dressed men met and relaxed in a comfortable chair with a drink and perhaps a cigar. They are timeless, offering an instant sense of history. You can't go wrong with this seat selection!

 Os de Mouton chairs are the perfect dining chair. Solid frames and shapely legs give these chairs a classic, timeless appearance while graceful carvings, paired with upholstered backs and seats with nailhead trim, add elegance...and the Os de Mouton canapé would make a charming banquette. Everyone will prefer these seats at the dining table!

Set of 6 Louis XIII Rush Seat Chairs
Set of 6 Louis XV Rush Seat Chairs

These casual, country French chairs offer more traditional French styling. They work around the table and around the room. Select this seat for a variety of seating options.

Benches like these are great for use in the foyer, mudroom, bedroom, kitchen and even dining room. They can be used in basically any room. With storage in cubbies and seats, they are ideal for hiding toys, linens and all kinds of clutter!

Louis XV Bergère à Oreilles (with Ears)
Crest Rail Detail
Leg Detail

These lovely bergère à oreilles (with ears) are both comfortable and decorative. They are a version of the wing chair with upholstered "wings" that shielded the face from fireplace heat or from draughts. Select them for their beautiful curved lines, carvings and upholstery. They also can be used in almost any room.

Pair of Leather Henri II Armchairs
Pair of Louis XIII Fauteuils
Pair of Carved Louis XVI Fauteuils

Any pair of these armchairs is a classic French chair. The tooled leather and graceful curves of the arms on the Henri II pair make a bold statement in a room. The upholstered seats of the Louis XIII and Louis XVI fauteuils make them a more comfortable choice, but all pairs are stately, classic French chairs.

Antique Prie-dieu

Prie-dieu are usually decorative but make great chairs for kids. Pull them up under the coffee table and they're great for playing games. They also make a good seat for kids to sit in while eating in front of the TV.

Lolo Found a Preferred Seat at Mont Saint-Michel!

Now sit back, relax and look over the seating. Be sure and "Let Lolo Know" when you've selected your seat!

LOLO'S AT IT AGAIN! DAY 1

Lolo landed safely and hit the pavement...well, French countryside...running! His first stop was a local antique fair where he filled the truck in time to head home to spend some time with his family. Here's a look at a few of the things he stumbled upon.
