Once again Toronto Antiques on King is proud to announce that items from our inventory have been chosen as props to grace the silver screen and bring historical accuracy and atmosphere to a story.  White Pine Pictures and Cine Metu are producing the documentary film, “Emily Carr: The Soul Within,” an “impressionistic, luminous exploration of the spirit that informed the solitary life of one of Canada’s most celebrated and controversial painters” (www.whitepinepictures.com).

The film, which is still in production, features a scene set around a typical Victorian tea party.  Born in 1871, Emily Carr would have likely attended many tea parties with all of the necessary accouterments, including items like the silver plate three tier cake stand and Cauldon cups and saucers borrowed for the film from Toronto Antiques on King.

*Small prints of Indian Church are available for purchase at Toronto Antiques on King.
