To Bernadette’s Friends and Customers,
In the history of world commercial/artistic culture, very few things are ever new.
Portland---thriving, alive, sensitive, aware---is about to discover something new at Bernadette Breu's
remarkable new business - no, more than a business - an experience.
Bernadette Breu, EXPERIENCE is, and is not an "antique store" an "interior design studio",
a source of the fine, the rare, the soul-soothing and personality stimulating.
It is all these, with infusions of atmospheres, informed tastes, and elements of personal zest
that make "the whole" of EXPERIENCE twice the sum of its parts. Nothing like this could exist
in most cities in the country, or Europe, but bits of all of these places are here.
Perhaps it takes Portland to produce a business of this rare character.
Donna DuFresne is on staff to offer Interior Design services and compliments Bernadette's gift
for finding magical pieces. Integrity oozes from this place with a wide array of pieces, objects,
and simply rare wonderful things. Here there are paintings, decorative arts of all kinds, icons,
European religious objects, folk art from the Americas and Europe, exceptional lighting fixtures,
silver, jewelry, furniture and sculpture. Arrays of beautiful James Opie Oriental rugs at half off
round out the offerings, competing for space with new acquisitions, coming in every day.
Bernadette has always loved things made by hand, expressions from the soul. Her recent finds
include collections of sketches and artwork from families rich in Portland history. Her style is a
unique blend of bold and the understated, a marriage of fine handmade objects,
and the best manufactured pieces of earlier eras.
Please celebrate the Bernadette Breu Experience soon. Opening day is December 15, 2007.
