A peek inside the Trove Antiques Gallery in Laguna Beach
as photographed by store owner Heather Lee…
A distillation of Wabi sensibility and one of a kind finds…
The looming 17th century Italian primitive “mountain” cupboard
stands starkly against the rough cinder block wall.
Significant pieces are given space to tell their story…
I first wrote about Heather and Bobby Lee’s incredible hand
picked treasures in Rough Luxe in Laguna Beach here
Chalk painted Catalan testle based table…19th century
Swiss folk art chairs…18th century
French c. 1920 cabinet found in Belgian bakery
A congenial mix of eras…love how well they
all pull up together as if waiting for fresh baked
bread to come out of the oven…
One of my favorite photos of all times…again, sent
to me by Heather….pure poetry…
from earlier Poetically Juxtaposed post here
(A glimpse into their earlier location…)
French painted canvas tilt top wine tasting table…
mid 19th century…
Love this urn…mid 19th century…
you could design a garden around this huge piece…
Or a (very big) entry…
Rare African Wedding bed….
Ethiopia c. 1890

Thank you Heather for all the wonderful photos!
Wonder if I could fit that cook’s canteen next to the
coffee maker?
