Treasure hunt in Paris
In September, we didn't travel to the "Maison et Objet" trade fair in Paris by TGV or plane, but in a van. We also planned a shopping trip to various brocante markets around Paris.
So we drove through the beautiful countryside, through the typical French avenues and through the city in the hottest weather. With a lot of FROHSINN and luck, we always found a parking space in the middle of Paris and enjoyed our adventure to the full. Our treasure hunt at the fabulous markets was also full of happy moments. We discovered wonderful trouvailles that match our FROHSINN collections and can be perfectly combined with contemporary pieces. You can now find all the new old treasures at FROHSINN. Here, in this newsletter, you will also find out what makes a really good vintage piece, how to combine it beautifully and how you can conjure up a little French chateau flair in your home.
Uncover the best brocante brands
There are also vintage pieces that stand out with their beauty, craftsmanship and great history. And you can now find them at FROHSINN. For example, French "Daum" glass is highly desirable for collectors. Together with Émile Gallé and René Lalique, "Daum" belongs in the first rank of French glass art. Daum" became famous with Art Nouveau creations and those from the Art Deco period.
Art, craftsmanship and big names are also combined in the ceramics from the southern French village of Vallauris. The art of pottery has been cultivated here since late antiquity. The fact that Vallauris ceramicsare associated with great art has to do with the fact that Picasso lived in this village in the 1950s, worked with ceramics there and was followed by other artists such as Miró and Chagall. Colorful vintage bowls from Vallauris are therefore very special pieces, some of which you can now find at FROHSINN.

Top tips for Paris
Finally, three fine little FROHSINN travel tips:
#1
Even on the TGV personal luggage tags in demand. With our elegant tags made of shiny metallic colored leather, you will always travel correctly and in style wherever you go.
#2
The fiery red lacquered door leads into one of the beautiful rooms furnished by India Mahdavi at the Parisian Hotel Thoumieuxwhere we like to stay. We love not only the stylish, relaxed hotel, but also the lively Saint-Germain-des-Prés district in which the Hotel Thoumieux is located.
#3
Be sure to treat yourself to a visit to the Palace of Versailles. If you go in the evening, you will have the palace almost to yourself.
