French Antiques
We specialise in authentic French antiques spanning multiple eras, including Louis XIV to Louis XVI styles. Our collection features carved commodes, ornate mirrors, and rustic farmhouse tables that showcase centuries-old craftsmanship. Each piece combines historical significance with practical use in modern interiors, offering clients investment-worthy items that enhance their living spaces.
Swedish Furniture
Our Swedish antique collection includes Gustavian-style vitrines, serpentine commodes, and Mora clocks with original finishes. These items blend Nordic simplicity with refined detailing, ideal for creating balanced interiors. We source directly from Europe to ensure authenticity, providing clients with statement pieces that add character to contemporary and period settings.
Antique Tables
We offer diverse antique tables including French farmhouse trestles, gueridon designs, and Dutch extending tables. Ranging from 18th to 19th century craftsmanship, these pieces combine functional storage with decorative appeal. Each table undergoes careful inspection to guarantee structural integrity while preserving historical patina and detailing.
