Place to shop: Seret and Sons Rugs and Furniture, Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States

About this place:

Any good walking tour of Santa Fe would not be complete without a visit to Seret & Sons. Seret & Sons is a wonderful feast for the senses, featuring a wide variety of antique and hand crafted items from around the world. As a photographer, I was drawn to the wonderful weathered wood of Indian ceiling beams and columns, colorful patterns of Afghan rugs and even the ornate, antique wooden doors. I was really drawn to the patterns and the beautiful patina of so many of the items. Although I wasn't purchasing anything that day, they were gracious enough to allow me to photograph to my hearts content in their outside gallery and for that I am truly grateful. It was one of my favorite days of photography.
