Recent arrivals at Mr. Ryder, Garden Belle offers an eclectic assortment of antiques direct from France. Sylvie and Molly, two gardeners at heart, began their business 5 years ago in San Francisco’s Castro District, with a focus on garden antiques. In order to meet the rising demand for French decorative items, they soon expanded to include home décor and developed a devoted clientele who appreciated the Garden Belle "eye". Sylvie and Molly now specialize in French country ceramics, tools, vintage botanical prints, religious items and object d’art. They still offer their French garden antiques for sale in Mr. Ryder's "Garden Alley" alongside the shop.
The Garden Belles make bi-annual shopping trips to France, roaming the countryside in their rented van and hand-picking beautiful objects and rare prints. They make stops at auctions, flea markets and shops all over France, with a special focus on Normandy and Burgundy. Their discoveries are then relocated to Sonoma County’s wine country. It’s a good match.
Items from Garden Belle were recently featured in an ad campaign for California Closets and were also the focus for an article in the San Francisco Chronicle’s "Home" Section. Additionally, Graton’s own Underwood Bar and Bistro recently selected several of Garden Belle’s framed antique prints as decor for their dining room.
Abientot, and happy shopping in our space at Mr. Ryder & Company Antiques and Art!
