We uncovered this elegant Louis XVI mirror in a weathered farmhouse near Avignon, its cast metal frame still exuding the refined craftsmanship of the 1920s. The delicate, intricate detailing hints at its regal design origins, while the metal frame shows the soft patina of age. It’s easy to imagine this mirror reflecting the daily life of the farmhouse over the decades, watching over the comings and goings of generations.

Avignon, a city steeped in history and has long been a jewel of Provence. Known as the seat of the Papacy during the 14th century, Avignon became a center of power and culture, leaving behind a legacy of stunning architecture, art, and craftsmanship. The city’s rich history is palpable in every stone of its ancient streets, where the past and present blend seamlessly.

The surrounding countryside, with its rolling vineyards, lavender fields, and quaint villages, has been a source of inspiration for artists and artisans alike. It is here, amidst the serene beauty of Provence, that our latest collection was unearthed.

From intricately carved stools to delicately crafted ceramics, each piece in this collection reflects the artistry and tradition of Avignon and its surroundings. Whether it’s a piece discovered in a centuries-old farmhouse or a find from a grand Provençal brocante, these items carry with them the spirit of Avignon.
