We’ve Been Featured in Lifestyle Portugal!
We’re thrilled to share that our story—and passion for antiques—has been featured in the latest edition of Lifestyle Portugal! The article dives deep into our founder’s lifelong love affair with history, art, and objects that carry stories across centuries.
From a childhood discovery in a rhubarb patch to extraordinary finds tucked under beds and in wicker baskets, the article traces a journey built on curiosity, expertise, and a little bit of serendipity – from our in-house Lead Specialist, Adam Schoon. These are the kinds of stories that make the world of antiques so magical.
In the piece, our founder shares:
- The Saxon bead that started it all
- A forgotten L.S. Lowry painting worth £260,000 (found under a bed!)
- A Japanese Ko-Imari vase nearly thrown out—sold for €75,000
- Insights into how antiques are still relevant (and even eco-conscious) in today’s minimalist world
- Tips for budding collectors on how to begin their own antique journey
- Reflections on 25 years with the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow
- A love for Portugal’s rich cultural heritage and its treasures—from Chinese porcelain brought to Lisbon in the 16th century to dazzling 18th-century Brazilian gemstones
It’s more than just a feature—it’s a celebration of everything we love about antiques: the thrill of discovery, the beauty of craftsmanship, and the stories that objects tell.
As we continue our work here in Portugal—scouring quintas, castles, palaces, and private collections—we remain dedicated to preserving history while helping others discover their own hidden gems.
