Collector & Curator

Vintage shopping has always been a part of my life.  Growing up I often accompanied her grandmother to country auctions where, at a very young age, I became captivated with treasures from the decades past. This ardent curiosity was also nurtured by her mother and aunt as they would wake up before dawn on weekends to hunt for finds.

I worked for more than a decade in fashion, while simultaneously returning to school to study at the New York School of Interior Design. The classes that captured my interest the most were Historical Styles, which is an overview of furniture and architecture throughout history. It was those exciting lectures that galvanized my decision to supplement coursework with a few antique appraisal classes at NYU which included weekly visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  

Fast forward and love eventually brought me to Switzerland where I had been living for over 12 years.  At any chance I get I am sourcing vintage for both private collectors as well as professionals. Geneva is just a stones throw to France and Italy so day trips as well as family vacations allow me to source unique as well as authentic one of a kind pieces from Europe. Today she is joined by her two sons as she carries on this tradition with the next generation.
