Notes from Sylvie:

This antique table has bounds of patina, scratches and signs of use. The table has small dark spots throughout and a small hole on the inside of the drawer.

We found this stunning walnut monastery table at a small market near Avignon, its weathered surface immediately drawing us in. Once used in an 18th-century French monastery, the table bears the marks of its age—scratches, dark spots, and a small hole inside the drawer that hints at its long history. Imagining the hands and books that once rested on its surface, we couldn’t help but see it as more than just a piece of furniture.

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.
