We were told that this chair stood proudly in the grand salon of a noblemans house, where it hosted distinguished guests. Its deep green velvet and its straight back offered the perfect posture for engaging in conversation or listening to the notes of a piano drifting through the room. Rediscovered by an antique enthusiast wandering the grounds, it was lovingly restored, its velvet brushed to revive its sheen, and its frame polished, ready to stand tall once more in a new home, carrying the echoes of the opulent past it once knew.

A tale so magical, we barely believe it. The story of this collection begins in the heart of Aix-en-Provence, where whispers led us to an extraordinary discovery—a resting place for the remnants of chateaus long forgotten. This ‘graveyard’ was unlike anything Sylvie had ever encountered.

Amidst the ruins, each piece seemed to carry the echoes of noble homes, some felled by earthquakes, others abandoned and left to time. It was a place of lost grandeur, where fragments of history lay waiting. Sylvie handpicked her favorites from these forgotten treasures, breathing new life into each one, and sometimes, a new purpose. This collection is a revival of French history, offering pieces once thought lost to time.
