Last summer I did a post about a store at Kierland Commons shopping center in north Scottsdale called Royal Fine Art. It was a store full of sculptures, chandeliers and 'made-to-look-antique' furnishings. It all seemed a little out of place for modern tastes. It didn't last long. I noticed two months ago that the place was empty and all those eagles, horses and lions had moved on. Last weekend when I was at Kierland Commons, I saw a new store had opened in that former location and it was nothing like the old one. The new place is called Anticus and it's all about fine art, books, and artisan jewelry.
I enjoyed looking around the place. They had wonderful art works and a fascinating collection of books. I thought the sculpture of the two frolicking foxes to the left was very clever. I spent a lot of time looking at everything and ended up walking away with a new book to read.

That looks like a nice shop to stroll around there, funny foxes!
It looks like a place where you could spend a lot of time.
Those foxes are cute...
The place kooks inviting. I like those playful foxes.
I remember that earlier post. I'm not at all surprised that place didn't survive. How many gigantic bronze eagles and lions could they sell, after all?! This shop looks much more realistic.
I think I like the new place, being full of books I'd quite happily go in there and browse.
The foxes sculpture is quite a treat.
I like that top picture a lot.
Much improved, in my humble opinion. I think I could find a lot of temptations here.
Much better Sharon, hope they do well when they move to their permanent spot. I'm in love with fox statue, thank goodness I wasn't in a position to buy it 😀
