Provenance:
Personally discovered and thoughtfully assembled during a recent antiquing adventure through Paris's charming neighborhood galleries and weekend markets. Each piece was selected not only for its individual beauty but for how it harmonizes with the others.
Sometimes the most beautiful collections are born from careful curation rather than matching sets - this trio proves that point beautifully. See less
