About The Provence Collection
Where It Started
I have been finding things for as long as I can remember.
It started when I was nine years old, digging old milk bottles out of the woods that I had found.
I liked them enough to bring them home, clean them up, and find someone who wanted them.
The woman who bought them was thrilled. Not politely pleased. Thrilled.
And that has stayed with me to this day.
I had taken something forgotten and put it in the hands of someone genuinely happy to have it.
The joy I felt finding those bottles became her joy in owning them. I have been chasing that feeling ever since.
I find things I love and I pass them to people who will love them too.
That understanding has never changed... and I still love doing this.
I do not follow trends. I choose the pieces that stop me at the brocantes. I know that if it brings me joy, it will for someone else too.
Every item I offer is something I would proudly display or use in my own home. Every item is designed to make someone very happy to have in their home.
Why Provence
For years I traveled to the brocantes of the South of France, and every trip made the same case: this was where the things I loved actually came from. In 2018 I stopped traveling to it and moved here for good.
The markets in Provence are unlike anywhere else. Centuries of daily life have passed through them, and the patina that only time can create is everywhere you look. That history is the reason I am here, and it is what I am looking for every weekend.
Most Sundays my alarm goes off before sunrise. The roads are quiet, the air is cool, and the best finds are already waiting for whoever shows up first.
“Every object here was chosen with care, and every one carries a story that does not end with me.”
"Objets choisis avec soin. Histoires qui continuent."
My Process
1. I Source Personally
Across Provence and the South of France, from small brocantes, vide-greniers, and trusted dealers.
2. I Choose with Joy
I look for authenticity, honest wear and quiet beauty. If it does not move me, I leave it behind.
3. I Prepare with Care
Each piece is cleaned, stabilized only when needed, and photographed honestly so you see the true condition.
4. I Ship with Confidence
Orders ship directly from Provence with trusted carriers, fully insured and tracked from my hands to your door.
What I Choose... and Why.
I buy for one reason: joy.
A piece has to stop me in a market and make me want to carry it home before it ever earns a place here.
That is the only filter I use, and I trust it completely. It means I walk past plenty of pieces that might sell well, and I am happy to do that.
What I put my name behind has to be something I genuinely love.
When a piece moves me, I trust that it will move someone else too.
Everything on this site has passed that test. I found it, I loved it and I want you to have the chance to experience the same.
The Story Continues With You
Antiques carry something new objects cannot.
They have been kept, cared for and chosen again by every generation that owned them. When a piece arrives in your home, you become the next person in that line.
That is what I am really sending you. Not only an object... but the joy of finding it, the care of preserving it and a story that continues because you are now part of it.
