top:2px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;”>While visiting friends in Stuttgart, Germany a few weeks ago, my husband and I stumbled into a sensational little antique shop on Katharinenstrasse called Cocotte Antiques – I think owner Steffen Vetter might have purchased the best of France and transferred it into his discrete little well-lit boutique, jam-packed with crystal chandeliers, sconces, antique furniture and object d’art.

Steffen explains why so many people like his style and the items he offers for sale by writing:

For me, to find such things is not just a kind of profession, it’s rather an art. And it’s much more an art to combine these pieces in a way that every object keeps its own personality and, additionally, enhances itself in the interaction with others. I love objects in which (their) history can be touched, and I love authentic pieces full of grown patina. You enjoy these items as well? May be we should know each other…”

  1. What a treasure of a shop! I wish I was in Germany now so I could go and visit it! Oh well, perhaps one day 🙂 And thank you for your very nice and flattering comment on my blog. I think yours is lovely, too! Happy Friday. xo

  2. Victorian Cobweb,
    My nose never fails me. We can be traveling inside the tinest burg or the largest city and I always find myself in thick of the antiques district! Cocotte was a beautiful find!

  3. Nice find. So sad I didn`t meet you there. I live in Stuttgart and love your blog. So if you want me to get the piece … All the best.
