Yes, it's September 2002 and your Jacques, he eees een France...  (Well, he was in France, and now he's back in San Francisco, and the container has arrived, and everything you see here is available!) Here's a new twist... pictures of items as I'm purchasing them in France... kind of like walking into the boulangerie just as they're putting out the fresh, warm croissants...

A meter and a half wide console from the 40's, with its original faux finish. The marble which sits on top is in the next picture...

Dated 1945, by G. Moullade. With the painting came a brochure from the Paris auction house of Drouot.

Aww... Jack's gone soft, got hit by a "cute attack" in France. No, this has nothing to do with Art Deco, but I couldn't resist. It seems to have to do with a struggle of sorts, and is that little item under the foot perchance a heart? The terra cotta statue is about 17 inches tall...

I couldn't pass up this set of four double sconces, the shades appear to be in the style of Italian glass, and are impossibly cute.

A set of four gorgeous sconces with the pine-cone motif, with silvered mounts, about 12 inches tall.

Silvered brass, a graceful arch, handsomely decorated, this double-light table lamp is only the third such item I've found in over a dozen years of buying in France. The shades are Muller. Sorry, this table lamp is already sold!

Wow! I happen to have six small Schneider shades for these glorious table lamps, nickled bronze.

About 10 inches tall, signed Genet & Michon.

I like the simplicity of the Moderne stlying of this piece...

Now this is a beautiful wrought iron lamp. The pressed glasss shade is adorned with butterflies.
