street meets chic:
antique shop living in the 21st century
Window dressing doesn't get much taste' and we like to mix it all up,"
more inspirational than at Guinevere. says Marc Weaver, co-owner and director.
Its displays frequently juxtapose pieces "A 2,000 year old Neolithic Chinese pot
from contrasting styles and periods could be displayed with a 70s American
to show antiques as very much part of glass and chrome table and a 19th
today’s interiors. "We don’t do ‘safe good century Venetian mirror. This is how we
think people want to live with antiques
now." Its latest display takes this concept
one step further by offsetting exquisite
antiques against a backdrop of urban
ghetto graffiti, heightening the beauty
of the pieces to dramatic effect. To see it,
go to Guinevere Antiques, 574-580 Kings
Road, SW6
