Antique Lighting in Brewster MA

 

We had a wonderful visit to Cape Cod in October 2014, specifically to Brewster where we had a vacation home at one time, and very good friends. We gave that all up (except the friends, of course) when we moved to Carlsbad in 2005.

We always enjoyed checking out the antique shops that are so prevalent there...and not so common here in SoCal...and I snapped a photo of this antique-style lighting on the outside of a really cool shop in Brewster. Not really my style but they were intriguing, and they worked in this particular setting. They had a number of different globes varying in shape and color which suggested they were recently artist made creations resembling lighting from a by-gone era.

Jeff, there is character in that antique lighting.  It's nice that you stayed connected with your friends in Brewster MA and that you visited them in 2014.

Antique light fixtures are not quite my thing, Jeff, unless there are crystals involved (and I do own one of those). Now having said that, I'm sitting under a light fixture that was a 17th century Delft piece purchased at auction and converted into a chandelier.

Hi Kathleen Daniels 

That's a good way to describe it. And it suited the building and the store.

The Cape was a very special place for us for many years, especially the last 10 while we had homes there. These were very special friends that we have now known over 20 years, and we spend lots of time with them. Unfortunately we lost Bill to cancer back in January. So very sad.

Antiques were much more of interest to me when we lived in New England but over time our tastes have changed.  That Delft piece, now a chandelier, sounds kinda cool...one of a kind no doubt.

Jeff Dowler ~ hi Jeff, my husband is Dutch... hence the Delft. Sotheby's tried to buy it from us 30 years ago for over $30K. It's travelled all over the world with us. Our house is a real mix of antiques and more contemporary furniture and it works well.

Hi Nina Hollander 

That's pretty neat. What fun to have piece that brings your pleasure but also has some value. We have definitely become more contemporary, including the art collection!

Good morning Jeff. Not what I would expect to see outside but surely different.
