French Kissed

I won!!!!

“French Kissed is going to have its first give away and

I can’t think of anything that speaks to the French Kissed

philosophy more than the miss-matched place settings of

vintage and antique silverplate.”

Thank you Jermaine,

xo Trish

Early French porcelain , circa 1775, created in Paris

at the “Fabrique de la Reine” , sometimes also referred

to as the “Manufacture du Comte d’ Artois”, which was

located on rue Thiroux, under the direction of Andre Leboeuf.

The mark of Comte d’ Artois, used in 1775, is found on the

underside. The factory is widely recognized for having

created porcelains for Queen Marie Antoinette.

A French letter from 1813

A scrap of 18th century silk embroidered with roses and bows,

beneath an chenille embroidered waistcoat…

The edge of the silk is brighter, where it had

been turned over at a seam…

The effect of the design is carefree,

romantic…

A rose laden chenille embroidered net fichu…

Edges ribbon and silk floss trimmed

c. 1810-1815

All above from my own collection of antique textiles.

My favorite time period is from Marie Antoinette to

Jane Austen…from the end of 18th to start of 19th century.

I dabble in reverie.  Who sat on that canapé, tilted those painted

rose teacups, walked those boulevards, perched in rows at

Beethoven concerts, curled within a Lit à la Polonaise

to read Mansfield Park, or Lord Byron…

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.

Emily Dickinson

House and Garden July 2007  French Lessons 6

Antiquarian Alain, and his wife Claude, Fassier turned an old

nineteenth century French girl’s boarding school in Rémalard,

a newly chic country town 90 miles southwest of Paris, into a

remarkable home and antique shop. When Alain carefully peeled

away coats of paint on the second floor landing…  the original

celadon green paintwork of the landing, with trompe l’oeil

fluted columns and pilasters, came magically back to life…

A worktable from an electronics atelier is strewn with

La Maison Fassier 8

Glass cases of haughty winged creatures and shelves burgeoning

with books infuse the room with a scholarly atmosphere.

” I wanted to respect an ambience that is a little boarding school

and nineteenth-century,” Alain says.

House and Garden July 2007  French Lessons 5

Antique chairs and a vintage leather chesterfield sofa, a set of

antique lanterns leaning in a corner, antique paintings hung

somewhat haphazardly in the living room …

you wonder whether items regularly rotate between the

downstairs antique shop and the family quarters…

House and Garden July 2007 French Lessons 2

In the living room Alain inserted double doors

with stained glass panels…
