Thank you to everyone who came to my vintage popup at and made it so special. I have a slightly bigger van so I got to bring a lot of items and it really looked like a little French brocante 😊
I hope you all enjoy the treasures you found for many years to come.
I’m already looking forward to the next one!
In the meantime visit www.scenesandstories.com or send me a DM to enquire about an item or arrange to come and visit my storage.
A special big thank you to McKinley for her continued support ❤️

A vintage stool into step ladder. The two steps flip in under the stool or flip out when needed. The turquoise colour is super cool.
These are very handy and certainly best the plastic alternative 🙂
€85

Available on www.scenesandstories.com or it will be with me in front of PAX on Saturday if not sold before

🏷️ A pair of Art Nouveau glass display cabinets €250

Early 20th century carved wood and bevelled glass display cabinets.

Glass on three sides with a mirror in the back. The mirror is mercury an shows signs of aging which adds to the character of the piece.

One glass shelf in each.

Lovely ornate brass pull handle.

These could be placed atop a counter or wall mounted. I believe they would have originally had a shelf linking the two.

These would be great in a bathroom or kitchen for glassware. Perfect to display a collection or even as bedside cabinets.

Dimensions: 60x40x36cm

The price is for the pair.

These are ONLY available for collection. There is too much glass to risk sending

Things to note:

* the top panel on one of the cabinet has a damaged section. See pictures

* the doors can be prone to sticking a little. Still totally fine.
* There is some light pitting to the glass door of one of the cabinets. Barely noticeable

Now taking bookings for fresh foliage Christmas decor for your shop, restaurant, business or home.

✨ Door arches
✨ Big outdoor garlands
✨ Wreaths of any size
✨ Foliage and floral baubles
✨ Mantle piece decor
✨ Indoor garlands

I love creating unique one of a kind installations, everything is handmade by me. I use plastic free mechanics, and it’s usually possible to do freestanding if attaching to the building is not possible.

All the foliage is foraged or sourced from sustainable farms. I include lots of scented stuff and some florals I dried over the summer.

Installations available in Newport, Westport and surrounding areas. I can also post smaller pieces.

Message me here for any enquiries

🏷️ Industrial steel workbench with an oil rust look top and reclaimed wood shelf.
It’s a standout piece that would make a great desk or retail display table.

📏 99.5x80x82cm with the shelf sitting at 33.5cm from the ground
It’s heavy.
Suitable for collection or man and van delivery only

🏷️ French 1920s brass Art Deco hat and coat rail or kitchen pot stand and hooks €235

This is a very special piece

When I bought it it was black. Caked in what looked like soot and grime, I had no idea it was brass hiding under there

Many hours of cleaning later revealed this stunning 1920s Art Deco rail

It could be a hat and coat rail with hats sitting atop the two parallel bars and coats hanging from the 6 sliding hooks.

Alternatively, it could just as well be a pot stand and rail for the kitchen. This might explain why it has turned black if it hung above a range for decades.
Pots would sit atop the shelf and pans or utensils would hang from the hooks.

The three rails are held together by a beautiful arabesque and mounted on a piece of oak

The 6 hooks slide along the bottom rail but cannot be removed. This is an indication it might have been intended for a public space with fixed hooks to avoid theft. In a train carriage or waiting room perhaps

Whether you choose to use it in a country kitchen or hallway it’s a showstopper and deserves pride of place.

Dimensions: Total length 130cm

Heights 27cm

Depth 27cm
