Lucullus à Pont Breaux is not your average story by DEBORAH BURST photography by C. ROSS antique shop—juxtaposing fine crystal on a 19th century mahogany table surrounded by patio chairs (above), and offering Clovis the English bulldog (left) as your shopping guide. LUCULLUS À PONT BREAUX 107 Rue Principale, Breaux Bridge, LA 337-332-2625 610 Charters Street, New Orleans, LA 504-528-9620 www.lucullusantiques.com C lovis, a stoic English bulldog, greets you with his usual grunt when you first arrive at Lucullus à Pont Breaux and then plops off his Louis XV chair and takes you on a grand tour. Amidst the spicy French culture in Breaux Bridge, holiday decorations consume a galley of antiques dedicated to the grand pursuits of dining, cooking, and imbibing. Owner Patrick Dunne strives to make antiques fun again—not sacred objects, but a link to the past with a new twist. Pictures of barnyard chickens hold company with a 19th century mahogany table surrounded by patio chairs, a marble top bistro table set with fine porcelain, or an engraved sterling ice bucket filled with Louisiana Iris. Patrick believes today’s generation has a renewed interest in food with an emphasis on the quality of the product and presentation rather than the complexity often used in the past. “Their collections have fewer but better things, and they appreciate the history of the piece,” he says. “They evoke the nostalgia of fundamentally good cuisine.” Whether starting anew or finding the right complement to your existing collection, the staff of Lucullus assists clients in finding the perfect piece that captures their lifestyle, making it more accessible, something that won’t get stashed in the china cabinet. And Patrick welcomes children and curious adults encouraging them to interact with the merchandise. “We put things out on a table so they can feel and touch everything,” he says. “I love to see what children go for and watch people amble through the store.” 16 s o u t h e r n b re e z e . c o m http://www.lucullusantiques.com http://southernbreeze.com
