I acquired it from the most AMAZING estate… a historic home that was a glorious mix of color, pattern, antiques, and an outside garden that was just as fabulous. 

Pieces like this are why I love Sourcing the South and the great state of Texas for heirloom estate decor…shopping estate sales, online auctions, charity thrift stores, and antique malls to carefully curate a collection of fantastic vintage and antique finds that have and will stand the test of time.
