Home and Garden
Ten years ago, when we visited France, we stayed in a beautiful French manor house, or manoir. It was a charming, traditional property and was full of delightful period homewares.
This consisted of a stunning French tapestry used as a wall hanging, displayed on large cast iron rods. We also noted the fine French furniture, original oak parquet flooring, some lovely wall hung cast iron radiators. However, it was the French period homewares that really caught our attention. These included pretty fabric cushions, floral lines, lace tablecloths, pretty floral porcelain, stylish French glass demijohns, fine brass candlesticks, elegant religious statues, pretty kitchenwares with traditional wine and water pitchers, glass and china fruitbowls and beautiful antique wine glasses. There was also some lovely silverwares, including silver cruet sets with salt, pepper and mustard pots.
It was a really charming property and demonstrated great taste and style - a great example of French style.
