france comes to england

One of the best parts of our trip to England was meeting up with our shipment from France. As always, we love to see what we’ve selected for Painted Porch away from the dusty, drafty dealers’ barns. Once again, everything looked even better than we remembered, particularly two pieces: A small, original apothecary that once hung above a pharmacist’s counter, and a stunning zinc-top counter from a French candy store. No doubt they’ll both look even sweeter at home in Sheffield.
