(k) Atelier de Campagne carries Brazilian art
with a rustic patina. The booth also offers Latin American ex-votos and
retablos. (l) Gameplan: Pay for
larger pieces
like this French-style sideboard, then come back and pick them up
later.
(m) You could spend hours rummaging through boxes of
crystals and old photos,
but seasoned professionals know you need to
sweep through the big booths of
established dealers up front first,
then check out the smaller stuff
later. (n)
Shane Brown, a.k.a. “Big Daddy”
of Big Daddy’s Antiques in Los Angeles,
decorates his space with
maidenhair ferns and seasonal greens. He specializes in
garden decor,
especially urns. (o) Holiday plaids and tartans take
umbrella form.
