Seller's Story
Passion for Art, Antiques, and Collectibles. Always enthusiastically searching for interesting and beautiful Collectibles in Antiques, Art, Curiosities, Design & Vintage at markets, auctions, and estate sales.
I am fascinated by the story and history behind the various objects and their makers. The aim is to give these beautiful objects a new place among enthusiasts for their collection or to enhance their interior.
Started this dream as a sole proprietorship in 2018.
And of course, there is the love for the French Bulldog: Pip and especially successor Chouffe. That's why they are included again in my logo.
