Liz Spradling Antiques


Liz’s old booth at Memorial Antiques and Interiors (MAI)

I had a very pleasant surprise one evening when checking my email, a nice woman named Liz had emailed me to let me know a couple of my pictures on my previous post on white confit pots were from her shop. Imagine my surprise and joy to learn it was none other then Liz Spradling of Liz Spradling Antiques.

  Liz Spradling recently on One King’s Lane

I wish I had known about this sale because I would have been first in line on my computer!

Marburger Farm Antique Show at Round Top

I’ve had this picture above on my computer for a couple of years now but had no idea where it came from or where to find these stunning antiques. I love the 18th century statue and the incredible hand painted leather screen behind it.

Liz Spadling on 1st Dibs

While the guy above seems to be sold Liz has his torchbearer mate listed on 1st Dibs. It’s amazing how much detail you can see in the craving of his dalmatic vestment.


Once you’ve seen the choice of antiques that Liz displays you’ll become as hooked as I am. Liz has been one of my go to places on 1st Dibs for the last few years and recently while scrolling through her selection I came upon these champagne crates with newly tufted burlap tops. Not only would they provide great storage inside but also they’re study enough to be used for seating and they’re so reasonably priced!


Liz has these white confit pots listed on 1st Dibs for those of you looking for one. She also told me she has a new shipment in that has several confit pots and will be unpacked in September.

 
Liz has amazing taste and I love this 18th century console. You can find this on her website here .

Joni of Cote de Texas blogspot took the next several photos in Liz’s shop and I have to say I for one can’t wait to visit Houston. Look over there on the left hand side Liz has a pair of hard to find small olive jars or Jarre de Biot that you’ll find in so many of Pamela Pierce’s rooms.

I had to get in this last picture of Joni’s since it has a white confit pot pictured. I love everything Liz has in her shop and if you do too don’t hesitate to either visit her shop, website or on 1st Dibs. Trust me she is such a gracious lady and even invited me to view her new shipment but unfortunately I live a bit away.

    So much gorgeousness here. I love every piece, and the mirror is spectacular.

  5. Debra,

    What a beautiful connection that you made through your beautiful blog! Liz's store has my mouth hanging to the ground. I am in awe of all of the amazing items for sale.

    Sadly, I live to far away to check out her beautiful store.

    I hope you have a wonderful week! Are you staying cool? And able to harvest any of your veggies? Made any jelly? Jam or canned anything?

    I cannot wait for Fall, I have said it before but will say it again!

    Take care, Elizabeth

  16. I had to come back to this post since it took me so long to pick out the details in each gorgeous photo. My goodness, what amazing taste and connections to find such amazing pieces! Incredible. All of the best goes to the States--I know I have said it before but this is proof!

    Have been thinking of you and Dylan. We just have had two days break in the heat but Ben has been hating it. Definitely not a time to be a city dog without shady trees to lay under or creeks to swim in!

  26. Her things look amazing. I think Houston must have the best antique and decor shops in the U.S, the only problem is they are in Houston darn it!
