The essential guide on what to collect, how to select, and where to find the French antiques of your dreams, complete with expert tips and insider knowledge.

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.

Extensive resources complete the book, with advice on where to shop--from professional déballages to live auctions, and from flea markets to annual fairs--along with Sharon's favorite antique dealers throughout France, a glossary of terms, a buyer's guide to successful antiquing with useful phrases, and a detailed index. This sumptuous book is an indispensable reference for antique lovers everywhere. A portal to the charm and elegance of French antiques, it embodies the thrill of the hunt and the allure of French style to infuse your home with soul and personality.
