MEET ALYS DOBBIE, OUR NEW DIVA GUIDE Dear Diva Readers, M eet our newest Antiques Diva Guide, Alys Dobbie – she’s an antique and vintage dealer, wearer and endorser as well as being the newest Diva on our team, leading tours in London at the Portobello Flea Market! She has been in the antiques trade for the last 11 years, getting her start selling in the markets of London and working her way up to owning 2 shops and becoming FRENCH FLEA MARKET VOCABULARY LESSON It usually occurs 1 or 2 days a week – often on – but not limited to the weekend. Some of the best flea markets in France are in the South of France – in Nice, Avignon, Arles or Toulouse. Closer to Paris I really like the Orleans flea market – it’s quite similar to Puce at the Port de Vanves. Brocante – A Brocante is a short term

THE GREEN MAN

The Green Man is usually depicted as a human-like face surrounded by or incorporating leaves, branches and vines. On rare occasions you may see a Green Woman or a Green Lion, but it is most often a male face and sometimes there is a body as well, also made of vegetation. Some representations will have a head completely covered in leaves while NANCY LANCASTER’S YELLOW ROOM Yes, we had completed our pilgrimage to Nancy Lancaster’s iconic “Yellow Room.”. To give you a little history, Nancy Lancaster purchased Sybil Colfax’s decorating business and, as a result, inherited business partner John Fowler. The two were described by Nancy’s aunt, Lady Astor, as “the most unhappy unmarried couple in

England.”.

ANTIQUE KNIFE RESTS

It is important to note that at the beginning of the meal, knives should not be on the rests, and during the meal, in between bites, the knife should be placed on the edge of the plate, as proper etiquette dictates. The knife rest is only used in between courses, when the plate is removed. Most knife rests were made in the Victorian era.

SAVONAROLA CHAIR

Developed in the late 15th century in Italy, the Savonarola chair was originally created to be foldable, and thus a more portable, version of the ancient Roman curule chair. The Savonarola however had more angular legs and the addition of a low back and though the basic construction of the chair was simple, there are many variations in

armrest

SECRET COMPARTMENTS IN DESKS The most typical place for a hidden compartment on a desk is in the central interior section. There is typically a small door flanked by two pilasters, and this entire section may be removed to reveal a hiding place behind. One also must inspect each pilaster, as there may be tiny hiding places behind them, only big enough to store a few

folded

WHO’S WHO AND WHAT’S WHAT WHEN IDENTIFYING FRENCH What’s most important to remember when trying to decipher who’s who and what’s what is that the periods in French furniture design follow the time periods associated directly with the reign of a particular king, politician or military leader.
