Walking past Brocante 19, you have little idea of the treasures that lie within. It is a long brick building with grey double doors and a delicate sign announcing its name. Standing outside, it looks more like a farmhouse than an antique shop! When the double doors are opened, vintage and antique items spill out onto the pavement, making it clear that this is the place to find unique, collectible items of all shapes and sizes.
There is not much commerce in the area where Brocante 19 is located, so this antique shop may be the only reason you find yourself in the small town of Forges, France. However, it is well worth the trip, especially for anyone with an interest in vintage items, unique treasures and collectible antiques. The vast space of this warehouse is crammed with goods and, thanks to the Dutch owners, new items are constantly arriving. So you never know what you might find.
The interior of Brocante 19 has a somewhat industrial feel. This is mainly due to the rough features of the warehouse building, but some of the items also contribute to this feeling. As well as the industrial features, visitors can expect to find taxidermy, fur rugs, kitchen utensils, cupboards, lighting, tools, wardrobes, mirrors, rocking horses, copper items, vintage fashion, chairs, advertising memorabilia, globes, street signs and much more.
Brocante 19 is definitely the place to go for interior design inspiration. There are so many items here that you would not find in a more traditional antique shop and the possibilities for adding an original, artistic touch to your home are endless. Many items are also practical, just waiting to be brought back to life and given a second life. Once you have been here, you will be planning your second visit!
