Home & Colonial Berkhamsted


                                           
Following many years of selling exclusively online and in fairs, Brocanteart now has a presence in the 
High Street.
We have been offered a place at the wonderful Home & Colonial Antiques Emporium in Berkhamsted. This four stories building is a Georgian gem in the heart of the affluent market town of Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire. The antiques on offer are all top quality sold by reputable dealers. 
We have a small area next to the stairs to the cafe, which is due to reopen at the end of October'14.
Here's a could of photos of our display:

The display is in a constant state of flux so not all the items are available but there's always plenty more on its way.

Conceptual ideas in a haberdashery box


This sweet little ensemble represents my return to the experimental art of composition which has been an obsession since my days in art school. Now I'm using the products I have got at hand, my beloved collection of antique haberdashery which has been used as a medium for an experiment in color. Golden and cobalt blue work wonders together and here I have added some oyster and wax to enhance the deep blue. 
Work in progress
