Last week Steve and I motored up to Placerville, California and tootled around the museum and shops. We stopped in this antique store and immediately my morbid (pun intended) curiosity took over! I asked the owner if I could snap a few pics and she graciously agreed. The shop is called Gothic Rose Antiques and I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. I was impressed with the way she merchandised and displayed all the weird and wonderful treasures...
Oh I love this shop, reminds me of the one that I've posted about before called Uncommon Objects. Their displays seem similar and I think I've seen this shop either on a blog or I think they might have a website. Do you know if they do. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteVery different than normal...

First thing that came to mind---this is a gothic place. All the dark things and elaborate shapes...Also reminded me of that show...Dark Shadows...Do you remember that one?
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! Where do they find some of that stuff? But, I did see some treasures like a brown transferware gravy boat!! Fun post! I would love to go there. Sally

She does have some very unique treasures! (that head in the glass case at the end looks like a horror movie). Very interesting. Thanks for showing us. laurie
ReplyDeleteI was in that shop a few months ago--it is very interesting, isn't it? I love your photos--they are terrific!
ReplyDeleteThis shop is interesting, though a bit somber. The owner has great skill in display techniques. Thanks for sharing.
