La Basse-cour

If you long to fill your home with period furniture and homeware, head off to this showroom and immerse yourself in French proven splendor. Owner Robert Desfontaines imports all his wares from France and he's very happy being tucked away in this trendy enclave in Milpark. You'll find furniture from city and town to farm kitchen and stoep, which includes architectural antiques, religious artefacts, antique lighting, and much more. Go along and browse among the chandeliers, large gilded mirrors, cast iron and wrought iron items, antique doors, gates and screens, and porcelain. I'd be very surprised if you can resist taking home at least one item
