While it’s a tough pill to swallow, lead times are what they are these days, and as such, we’ve been looking to sites like Etsy, Chairish and 1st Dibs (and even Facebook Marketplace) more than ever.
Today, I’ve included a round up of some of our latest finds – some antique/one of a kind and some new/handmade pieces. We may be bringing a few of these to our own online shop, so if you see anything you LOVE, let us know in the comments and we can try to source more!
I’ve been looking at rugs on Etsy and I found three sellers selling the exact same rug. It had the same blemish in the same spot. So, do you trust the sellers on Etsy that you are linking? I purchased a rug on Etsy like 6 years ago and it was fine, but I feel like there are more scammers out there now. I ask this because the one you listed was one of the sellers and I would like to know if that seller is safe. Thanks.
As difficult as they are to source, antique/one-of-a-kind pieces add so much character to a space that is difficult to recreate in modern reproductions (that photograph well but don’t give the same character IRL). Supporting domestic craft-makers and keeping treasures of of landfills is also a noble cause!
I agree wholeheartedly! Also, supporting domestic suppliers often cuts down on shipping things from across the world. Win-win.
Another great site for plein air / landscape art (and florals, still life)
