Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, the frame of this painting some wear and there is some actual damage to the painting itself near the top in a couple of places.

We found this serene woodland scene from a third-generation antique dealer in Marseille, who told us it was painted by a local artist with a clear love for nature. It was originally discovered in a Provincial farmhouse tucked away in the mountains behind Marseille. You can almost imagine the painter setting up an easel deep in the woods, carefully capturing the soft light filtering through the trees, the deer quietly moving through the scene.

Marseille, the vibrant port city of the Mediterranean, is a place where history, culture, and tradition collide. Founded over 2,600 years ago, Marseille is one of France’s oldest cities, with a rich tapestry woven from its diverse influences—Greek, Roman, and beyond. The city’s bustling markets, colorful neighborhoods, and sun-soaked coastline have long been a melting pot of ideas, artistry, and craftsmanship.

The surrounding Provençal landscapes, with their olive groves, terracotta rooftops, and rugged coastline, offer a glimpse into the soul of Southern France. It’s here, in and around Marseille, that we uncovered our latest collection of antiques—pieces that speak to the city’s maritime spirit and eclectic soul.

Sylvie rummaged through dusty, forgotten warehouses, met with third generation antique dealers and found herself wandering through vibrant seaside markets to curate this collection.
