I recently discovered Nineteen Mercier, a new online store offering the most exquisite and highly curated collection of home furnishings and décor, much of which is either very hard to find, or can’t be found anywhere else.
Nineteen Mercier began in a small loft in Lyon, France, inspired by shopping through the centuries old streets. According to the Nineteen Mercier website, “the inspirations of the day - the French streets, the textile art, the little home to which we had returned - came together perfectly in the small loft, and the ideas that began to develop there would one day solidify into a new studio on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Our decorative soul, though, still lies in the aesthetic of that little fifth-floor walk-up in the oldest part of the town. Each item in our collection brings to mind a flash upon the eyes and the heart - a glimpse of ancient streets through the branches of the chestnut tree that grew outside the window of 19 Rue Mercier”.
Nineteen Mercier is a beautifully designed site, and is very easy to navigate and search. Everything is organized into distinct categories (furniture, lighting, accessories, décor, bedding, spa, antiques, kitchen and dining), and everything is cross referenced by room (bedroom, living room, and so on). I particularly like the accessory and lighting section of the store. There was clearly much time and thought put into the design of the site.
Here are a few items that caught my eye as I spent time perusing Nineteen Mercier’s online store. Keep in mind that there is a special, limited time 20% off promotion going on – just use code 19MERC20 when checking out.

I really like the unusual shape of this lamp, and of course I love the color – it’s one of my favorites. Lute Lamp.
A stacked ball lamp in a silvery color.
A modern and somewhat industrial style lamp would look great in a more relaxed décor scheme. Lino Table Lamp.
The silvery gold color of this lamp would look lovely in most color schemes, and the delicate tracery pattern is beautiful. Mallory Champagne Glass Lamp.
I adore this lamp. Note the detail on the bottom and the top of the base, and the matching pottery finial. Nicosa Lamp in Cypress Blue.
