Think gothic castle chic ~ Eastern and Western vintage and antique interior treasures ranging from the styles of 18th-century to mid-century modern, including statement candlestick holders, glassware, lamps, sconces, statuary, dishes, coffee table books, and more. I have a master's in art history and a lifelong love affair with the slower pace of an analogue era. Give me a dark and moody still life (Vermeer is my interior designer lol) over millennial white, but make it utilitarian. Curating the antique aesthetic for the chic, moderne interior.
Some of my earliest memories include staring wonder-fully at old objects, photos, spaces, imagining the interesting lives of the people who touched them before me. I didn't know it then, but this same longed-for connection to people of the past led me to study art history and gain a more technical, academic perspective on the genre. Over time, I have carefully gathered my own collection of cherished antiques and pored over their craftsmanship and origins, and now source and share beautiful, pre-loved items with you. I'm learning to slow down and use the "special stuff" every day. I hope you will, too!
