Antique French Clay Pipe 41
After the reign of Napoleon, the French Clay Pipe was born. Romantic in design, inspired by Classical heroes and legends, the pipe bowl was sculpted as a miniature bust, fully dimensional and ready to be cast into brass in the early 19th century.
Antique Clay Pipes

Brocante & Antiques
In a phrase, a brocante is elegant chaos.
Every week in Paris or scattered across the towns in Provence, you can walk onto the street just after sunrise and find rows of tables have suddenly appeared. Some might be sheltered with airy white awnings, others scattered across a worn blanket on the ground.
Priceless antiques may rest alongside aluminum charms, perfectly faded aprons, copper pots, or tintypes of people lost to time. They are an artist's dream, filled with well-crafted raw materials ready to be preserved or transformed into something new!
Our store seeks to preserve some small piece of this tradition in an array of French antiques Paula has collected over the years, which are then cleaned, researched, and named for you to peruse. Please enjoy a small selection of our current stock here!
