Perfect Table & Brisbane Vintage Shoping

I am on a hunt for the perfect table for my study and love this Marchetti & Mercatini tables. So classical, versatile . It goes beautifully with any style and looks fabulous mixed with modern pieces and easily transform into dining table comfortably seating 8 .

I think Diane Keaton has this table in every movie she does.

I went to check what's available in Brisbane Antique and Vintage shops. Nothing beats my favorite but here are few photos what I've found interesting.

Not bad and very cheap option

From "Found in France" shop

nice commode

This piece is from Prague's Archives. (Very special to me) How did it get here???

This is beauty! It's huge. Photo doesn't make a justice to this fantastic piece from famous Charles University in Prague founded in 1347, it was the first university in the Holy Roman Empire and in Central Europe in general. It is one of the oldest universities in Europe.

Millie said...: I recently saw a pic of a desk very similiar to the one in your 3rd image Viera with a silver Tolix chair tucked under it. The juxtaposition of the 2 very different styles worked really well. Good luck on your hunt. Hope your weekend is lovely.

Julie@beingRUBY said...: Hi Viera
I love all these gorgeous pieces. The first 2 remind me of a table I nearly bought many years back. The top folded back enabling it to be used as a console or full dining [as a desk would be great too]. So now I wish I had bought that table. Had forgotten all about it.
Have a great weekend. x Julie; September 12, 2009 at 8:02 PM
