Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Mirrors are a brilliant decorating accent for any number of reasons. They bounce the light around. They’re great for a quick check before you head out the door. They can add a note of elegance to any décor. They are timeless.

At Halcyon House Antiques, we’ve just gotten some of the MOST amazing mirrors into the shop. This Venetian-style mirror is bordered by the most gorgeous beveled blue glass. IMG_5371Here’s the same mirror in a deep purple (for the Ravens’s fan?).IMG_5665Nothing says classic like a sunburst mirror!IMG_5653Here are some of the other mirrors we have. You will notice that we use them as accents throughout the house.IMG_5651IMG_5656IMG_5658IMG_5660IMG_5662IMG_5668IMG_5670

This is one of our most amazing mirrors. IMG_5672

Stunning in its own right, but when you look at the detail work, it’s amazing!IMG_5674

As always, please check in with Eric, who loves a good mirror, if you’re interested in anything you see here.

Fits Like a Glove!

There’s a nip in the air these days when we head out to walk the dog, head off to work or take the children to school, and nothing’s better for warding off a chill like a chic pair of gloves! Each year, we work with our source to select the most fun, the most elegant and the most unique combinations of trims, colors and styles of gloves. Take a look.IMG_5675IMG_5677IMG_5679IMG_5680IMG_5681

We have wonderful scarves that coordinate with the gloves. IMG_5393

And the gentlemen aren’t left out!IMG_6091

It’s going to be a long winter, so stock up now while your favorites are still here! And the gloves have a great price point, so you can buy several pairs to give as gifts. They’re knit, so they fit many sizes.

As always, contact Eric to talk about the glove you love!

Fall Style!

Now that fall is well and truly upon us, although 70* days occasionally pop up, it’s time to jettison that summer bag and pick up a new fall one. We’ve got a great selection of wonderful felt bags that have just come in, including shoppers, totes and clutches.

Oh, Intaglio!

Intaglio is such a classic look, dating back to the early days of the Greeks and Romans. IMG_5246It’s still a chic and stylish look today, and at Halcyon House Antiques, our collection of intaglio jewelry is one of our best selling items. IMG_5247But fear not, there’s a large enough range that you won’t see your piece coming and going. IMG_5251Each piece is handcrafted and assembled, and we even take custom orders for a smaller or larger piece. IMG_5253Ask Eric. IMG_5241

You are sure to find something that you love!

Dahlia Days

As the fall days shorten, there’s one bright spot in the garden – at least until the first frost. Stiles and Jonathan’s collection of dahlias is second to none!

When you visit Halcyon House Antiques, you will see masses of freshly cut dahlias decorating the tables, using some of our vases and bowls. IMG_5004Untitled-1

At the recent Valleys Planning Council’s Art for Land’s Sake Show and Sale, Stiles made the most magnificent arrangement, nearly FIVE feet tall!IMG_4992

At the top, you can get a glimpse of one of the most beautiful dahlias – it’s the palest shell pink on the outer petals, and fades to a creamy white on the inner ones. IMG_4982

Sometimes, when we’re closing on Saturday, we give the flowers at the shop to friends who are at the store, and they re-arrange them at home. IMG_5009

We’re expecting the first frost any week now, and once that happens, the dahlias will be gone again for another year. But while they’re here, they bring a lot of joy!

Baubles & Beads

One of our favorite jewelry designers is Angela Caputi, from Florence, Italy, whom Jonathan discovered on a stroll through the city one evening. Although the shop was closed, he made a point of going back the next day, and meeting with Angela and her staff, and then placing an order for Halcyon House Antiques.

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve just received the pieces from her fall line, and they’re fantastic! The colors are so rich and lush. IMG_4202The styles are so chic!IMG_4198

Angela has a great eye for design, and it shows in every piece she’s created. IMG_4200IMG_4195IMG_4591IMG_4631IMG_4637

Come on by and check these pieces for yourself. Remember, the holidays aren’t too far off, and a piece of Angela Caputi would make a great gift for you… or for someone you love.

As always, Eric is happy to chat with you about anything you’ve seen here.
