Introducing French Antique Store – A New Chapter in the Pacific Northwest
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from French Antique Store, the sister business to French Art Shop. This fall, we will be bringing a curated collection of authentic French antiques to the Pacific Northwest for the very first time. After a decade of living in Paris and immersing myself in the world of French art and antiques, my partner Paul and I have built a unique venture that connects the rich craftsmanship of Normandy with the sensibilities of my Pacific Northwest roots.
As we prepare to leave France this week, we’re eagerly anticipating the arrival of our container of antiques in Seattle, and ultimately in Port Townsend, Washington—the charming seaside town where I grew up on the Olympic Peninsula. After seven years of dealing in antique art, I am over the moon to expand our offerings with French Antique Store, which will showcase our first antique furniture and object export.
This fall, we are bringing over 500 hand-selected pieces, including furniture, objets d’art, and original antique paintings, to Seattle for two exclusive events. Our first pop-up will take place at Shelterwood Collective in Pioneer Square from September 19-22, in collaboration with our dear friend Cassandra of Casa di Lavalle, who hosted our art pop-up in her beautiful Seattle shop last winter. This event will feature an intimate selection of antique ceramics, paintings, home decor items, small furniture, and one-of-a-kind collector’s pieces.
RSVP here.
Following that, we’ll be moving into the spacious 210 Seattle from October 23-27 to showcase our larger furniture pieces, along with a broad selection of home decor items and objects. Each pop-up will feature unique, hand-selected items that beautifully blend the aesthetics of Normandy and the Pacific Northwest. We believe your visit will reveal unexpected parallels between these two regions, both rich in natural beauty and artistic heritage.
This venture is particularly special to us because it bridges our life in France with my Pacific Northwest roots, connecting the people and places of these two regions through the beauty of French antiques. We’re fortunate to have a supportive community of friends, artists, and small business owners in both the PNW and France who are helping to make these pop-up shops possible.
As we prepare for these events, we invite you to get in touch, invite your friends, or request press kits and previews. We’re hoping to spread the word and make this an annual or bi-annual event, bringing the charm of French antiques to the Pacific Northwest.
For our friends outside of the Pacific Northwest, we’re also working on making domestic shipping available starting in October. Keep an eye on Instagram for updates and to discover pieces that speak to you.
We look forward to meeting you in person this fall and sharing this new chapter of our journey with you!
