Charm of Provence, Unearthed
For me, being an antiques dealer is a labor of love, fueled by years of scouring the globe for unique pieces that define my showroom. Collaborating with sought-after designers who resonate with my style adds to the excitement, inspiring the quest for one-of-a-kind treasures.
Since my inaugural visit to Round Top in 1999, shopping for my personal collection, the event has held a special place in my heart. The tents of Warrenton, TX witnessed my first antiques purchase, marking the beginning of a journey that continues to this day.
My showroom mirrors a fusion of French Provincial and Italian collectibles, reflecting my distinct style. The allure of Round Top lies in the diverse inspirations and styles showcased by dealers worldwide. Engaging with new and returning customers motivates me to return each season, sharing my passion for antiques.
My customers appreciate the country elegance of my French Collection, drawn to rustic wood, exquisite chandeliers, and captivating accents. A collaboration with my ideal customer allows me to share design elements and style, creating a unique and rewarding experience.
When guiding customers to find that special piece, I observe their reactions and preferences, understanding what resonates with them. The showroom’s unique pieces offer a versatile blend of styles and eras, catering to diverse tastes.
In my showroom, French Provincial pieces such as armoires and dining tables take center stage, complemented by the infusion of Italian fragments. This blend defines my individual style and resonates with customers seeking a unique aesthetic.
Anticipating the upcoming show, I’m thrilled to showcase new pieces, including contemporary art, antique limestone fountains, and exquisite textiles. These additions bring a fresh design perspective, seamlessly blending with classic French style in my curated collection.
