About us

Thank you for taking the time to visit our About Us page. Here, we don’t just describe who we are — we open the doors to our world, where every antique piece tells a story, and every collector becomes a friend.

Our journey began as a personal passion. Today, it’s a trusted destination for antique lovers across the globe. This About Us is not about perfection. It’s about authenticity, shared heritage, and a promise: to treat each item and every client with care, honesty, and knowledge.

Where Craftsmanship Lives — Antique Furniture with a Story

From baroque sideboards to mid-century chairs, antique furniture is at the heart of our collection. We’ve traveled across Europe to bring back unique finds that have graced manor houses, abbeys, and private libraries.

We believe a home should tell a story — and nothing speaks louder than a hand-carved walnut cabinet or a Louis XVI writing desk. What makes us different? We personally select and restore every item. That’s part of who we are — and why this About Us matters.

Icons of Faith and Art — Our Orthodox Collection

Among our most treasured pieces are antique Orthodox icons. These sacred works — painted on wood with egg tempera, often embellished with silver or gold — carry not just beauty but deep spiritual resonance.

Working with clergy and restoration experts, we ensure each icon is presented with respect and integrity. From 18th-century Russian icons to Greek triptychs, our collection is curated with devotion. This spiritual connection is an essential part of our About Us identity.

For the Love of Pages — Rare and Antique Books

If you believe that books should be touched, smelled, and respected — you’re in the right place. Our antique book collection ranges from illuminated religious manuscripts to 19th-century scientific texts.

Each volume is cataloged, assessed for binding, paper quality, and provenance. When clients explore this part of our catalog, they often say: “I wanted a book, but found a time capsule.” That, to us, is the magic of antiques — and it’s central to About Us.

Silver That Tells Time — From Flatware to Ritual

Silver objects often outlive their original owners — and that’s part of their charm. In our collection, you’ll find everything from Georgian silver spoons to Art Nouveau chalices and ecclesiastical items.

We handle silver with expertise: testing for purity, identifying hallmarks, and restoring patina without erasing history. This responsibility defines us. Our approach to silver is not just business — it’s part of our About Us philosophy.

People Behind the Antiques — Who We Are

Every item you see in our store has passed through the hands of passionate people: curators, historians, restorers, and logistics professionals. We are a small but highly experienced team, driven by scholarship, taste, and service.

We don’t work from algorithms — we work from intuition and knowledge. That’s why our clients trust us. And that trust is something we cherish. If you’re here, reading this About Us — you’re already part of that circle.

We Ship Stories — Packaging, Delivery, and Care

When you order from us, you don’t just receive a product — you receive a piece of cultural heritage. We ship worldwide using museum-standard packaging and provide insurance and documentation for customs clearance.

Before shipping, we offer video previews and detailed reports on condition. That level of attention is not a bonus — it’s built into who we are. It’s part of our About Us, every step of the way.

Education and Transparency — Why It Matters

We believe that knowledge should be shared, not hoarded. That’s why our team regularly publishes blog articles and guides on topics like:

• How to authenticate an icon

• Cleaning antique silver without damage

• Bookbinding types by century

• How to value antique furniture

This About Us is not just a description — it’s an invitation to learn, connect, and grow as a collector.

What Our Clients Say — About Us from Real People

We are grateful to work with clients from all over the world — designers, historians, travelers, and private collectors. But it’s their words that best define who we are.

“I was looking for an antique silver set for my anniversary and found the perfect piece here. The service was exceptional — I received a full history, a certificate, and even packing tips. Truly elegant!” — Marie, Paris

“Their icon collection is unmatched. I felt like I was buying from a monastery archive, not a commercial store. The spiritual integrity was preserved in every step.” — Alexei, Toronto

Reviews like these mean the world to us — because they validate that our About Us is more than just words. It’s lived experience.

Beyond Antiques — Where Our Stories Continue

Collectors often ask where our antiques go after purchase. The answer is: into homes, museums, retreats, and journeys.

For example, mavidi.online is a luxury travel company where our antique icons and silverware are featured in elite European villas and cultural tour programs.

“My name is Liudmyla. I booked a VIP tour through mavidi.online, and everything — from the art to the hospitality — was flawless. It felt like stepping into a living museum. Highly recommend!”

And for those who want a touch of the modern with their love for heritage, we suggest autochina.blog. It’s a vibrant site for men who appreciate both vintage aesthetics and cutting-edge car design.

“I’m Matthew. Discovered autochina.blog by accident and was hooked. Great mix of new tech and cultural insight. Even spotted antique design influences in car interiors!”

Our antiques may begin their journey with us, but they live on through you — in your spaces, memories, and stories. That’s the real About Us.
