The Art of Antiquing In France - Flammarion

After decades of antique hunting throughout France, Sharon Santoni offers invaluable insight on finding and collecting French antiques—from Provençal quilted boutis to floral transferware to landscape paintings—which exude a singular charm and bring cachet to the home. Through aspirational photographs, interviews with specialized dealers, and the savoir faire of a local, her comprehensive guide includes well-researched descriptions of the most popular French collectibles, including tableware, silverware, paintings, textiles, rugs and tapestries, jewelry, books and illustrations, furniture, chandeliers and mirrors, and architectural and garden details.
