Gone Antiquing Nº6

20 beautiful old finds for a well-curated, timeless, and collected home (or closet).

From Worth Noting with Natalie Catalina—Gone Antiquing is my monthly-ish series filled with the latest fabulous old finds I’ve saved. A bit of virtual antiquing if you will, perfect for slow, quiet Sundays at home.

Hello friends. As the scorching heat wave persists here in D.C. (a staggering 100°!), I've found solace indoors, with the cool air, writing this newsletter. A recent antique trip stirred up some inspiration for a new round-up of beautiful finds to share with you all. It also had me thinking about offering my own personal tips in the art of antiquing. So I can help you all spot treasures similar to the ones you see in my home. So a post on that is on the horizon!

Antiquing remains a cherished weekend pastime and it brings me such joy to find fabulous pieces hidden among all the other stuff. And even more joy when I find the perfect place for it at home. During this latest excursion, I brought home so many goodies and I stumbled upon the most amazing metal greek key urn lamp, perfectly corroded. I harbor a fondness for antiquities with imperfections… little memories of all the lives they may have lived! Did I have room for it? Absolutely not. But I couldn’t leave it behind. I love lamp.

Anyhow, enjoy perusing this antique collection below! And stay cool among this relentless heat. It’s another day of hundred degree weather, so I have little hope for venturing outdoors. I’m planning to procure a demi baguette and some brie and will be perched on the sofa for a movie marathon. Ta ta for now! - Natalie
