Turtle and Crane:
Where History Meets High Glamour
Welcome to the curated world of Turtle and Crane, the design partnership of John and Russell.
We don't just sell vintage decor—we breathe new life, passion, and uncompromising glamour into forgotten treasures. For us, every piece is a love affair with history, offering a rare opportunity to transform your space with character and soul that mass-produced items simply cannot offer.
Our signature aesthetic is a vibrant, sophisticated blend of Palm Beach Regency luxury, the bold scale of Dorothy Draper, and the theatrical, maximalist chic of Tony Duquette. We specialize in sourcing exceptional vintage furnishings and objects d’art with great bones, and elevating them into breathtaking, one-of-a-kind statement pieces.
At the heart of our collection is the Turtle and Crane Atelier in Mobile, Alabama. Here, John applies bespoke, hand-finished artistry and sumptuous decorative finishes—from dramatic lacquers to gilded Chinoiserie—ensuring that every piece is a unique work of art, "Turning the Past into Stunning Decor for Today."
We believe your home should be a confident, luxurious reflection of your unique personality. Allow us to help you find the next unforgettable chapter for your collection.
