Coup D'Etat Antiques



Back when I was a little twinkie, 22, Darin Geise, the owner of Coup D'Etat in San Francisco, hired me as a sale person.

Darin's approach to antiques and vintage furniture, is fresh and hip. Below are a couple vignettes from his shop. Bob Wilms, the shops upbeat and knowledgeable sales director, was just quoted in the New York Times, giving tips about "Haggling" with antique dealers in this challenging economy, pretty interesting article here...

For all you Bantams out there, these chairs are called cockfighting chairs!

How exciting and cool are these Zebra Chairs! I can just picture them in the ultra modern Sheats-Goldstein House, below.

My Pink Boudoir Chairs!


These bubble gum pink chairs, Darin had refinished and upholstered for me --back when I lived in a little Tiffany Blue Studio in Cow Hollow. I had the most girly studio, it was great!
