sellwood: portland’s place for antiques

September 6th, 2009 by uma

Sellwood is a very cool neighborhood in Southeast Portland. It is known for its plethora of antique shops. And there are plenty of good places to eat and drink coffee, so you can make a WHOLE day of it. Here are some of the fabulous finds I stumbled upon:

A gorgeous and very big hand-painted Indian doorway that could be used as a headboard, table, or actual door.

Just really liked the color palette in this vintage piece of local art. I definitely developed a thing for the Oregon Coast : ).

I really liked these Asian-style chairs and silk tapestry artwork. There are many asian influences in Portland so stylistically they make sense there.

This wooden art deco mantel piece just felt so right to me. In great condition and the finish had a richness to it.

LOVED this lamp made out of a printer roll for a wallpaper pattern!
