Christiques began with a belief that the most compelling rooms are assembled over time. We find uncommon objects, study their histories, and place them with people who will carry their stories forward.
It starts with looking closely—at proportion, patina, craftsmanship, and the marks left by a life already lived.
Christiques grew from years spent seeking pieces in estate collections, galleries, auctions, and overlooked corners. There was no desire to follow a single period or prescribed style. The connecting thread was always character.
Today, our collection spans antique furniture, fine and decorative art, sculpture, estate jewelry, and intriguing collectibles. Each piece is considered individually, researched with care, and presented honestly—including the evidence of age that makes it singular.
02 / Approach
What earns a place in the collection.
01
Presence over pedigree
A recognized maker matters, but an object must first hold its own. We look for balance, material integrity, and an unmistakable point of view.
02
Age, honestly shown
Patina is not a flaw to disguise. We document condition carefully and distinguish meaningful wear from issues that affect function or value.
03
History, responsibly told
Attributions and provenance are described according to the evidence available—without embellishment, invented certainty, or convenient mythology.
04
Made to live with
We favor objects that reward daily attention: a cabinet that anchors a room, a sculpture that changes with the light, a jewel with personal resonance.
03 / Stewardship
From discovery to your door.
Our work continues after a piece is found. Every object receives an appropriate level of research, condition review, and preparation before it is offered.

“The best antiques do not ask a room to look backward. They make the present feel more personal.”
