Palescapes

A timeless go-to for the tabletop, whiteware has the power to freshen even the dullest days of winter. Re-create this look with your own creamy blend of classic contemporary pieces, antique porcelain, vintage ironstone, and bespoke monogrammed linens.

Shoppers seeking to expand their whiteware collections can choose from an exquisite cache at Henhouse Antiques, a boutique in the quaint English Village neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama, that specializes in European finds. Filled with superb stand-alone case pieces, as well as tabletop elements layered in visual and textural splendor, the shop offers curiosities from France, England, Italy, and Sweden.
