I love beautiful things and it is my greatest pleasure to find them, to attract them into their stories, to spend time with them and then to release them again.

That's what I wanted most in my life and that's how this shop was born. The cornerstone was a study of literature and the history of art as well as cultural communication. Curiosity, thirst for knowledge and many collaborations with amazing personalities from the world of art and design have allowed me to get to where I am today. Through antiquities, history becomes tangible in the literal sense, one can perceive it sensually. They calmly defy the constant change in fashion and the taste of the time.They are like a bridge between the past and the present. For me personally, they are an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Some objects abandon puzzles, lock themselves in; others openly reveal their past.
They radiate with joy of living, surprise us or enchant us; make a collector's court beat faster or become good friends and occupy a significant place in your life. They can be bulky or controversial, but they're never boring. I believe that the stories, hands and tradition behind objects are just as important as their aesthetic qualities. Ancient objects can add so much value to your life, and personally, I can't imagine a home without them.Every piece of my shop has been carefully and personally chosen. What unites them is their know-how, their care and their attention to detail.
Curiosity, thirst for knowledge and many collaborations with amazing personalities from the world of art and design have allowed me to do so. This item is in the category "art, antiques\art of xxe, contemporary\sculptures, statues".
