🇫🇷 A little piece of authentic France…
These beautiful vintage French shutter dogs, also known as Belgian Lady Heads, were discovered at a traditional French brocante in rural France.
Originally designed to hold open shutters on French farmhouses, they combine practical craftsmanship with timeless character. Today they’re highly sought after for restoring period properties or adding authentic French country style to homes and gardens.
It’s these original architectural details that give old French homes their unmistakable charm—and I love bringing pieces like this back to the UK to find new homes.
Would you use them on a restoration project or simply display them as decorative pieces?
