Vintage & Antique Collection

Authentic heritage textiles sourced from private Greek collections. Each piece is one of a kind.

Collected Over Two Decades

Built One Piece at a Time

Our vintage and antique collection has been built gradually over the past twenty years. Each piece is sourced individually through private channels: families who inherit textile heirlooms and seek a trusted buyer, individuals we have built relationships with over time, and quiet, one-to-one acquisitions across Greece and the broader region. Nothing comes from bulk markets or mass lots. Every item is selected on its own merit.

The collection reflects the textile heritage of the Eastern Mediterranean and its crossroads: Greek folk embroideries with strong regional character, Ottoman and Anatolian metalwork with gold and silver thread, Balkan needlework traditions, whitework and heirloom linens, traditional woven wall hangings, kilims, and rugs made on hand looms, and fine pieces that have passed through generations of careful hands.

Regional Character, Living History

A significant part of our collection centers on vintage Greek folk embroideries. These are pieces with regional identity, made in specific communities using techniques and patterns passed down locally. The colors, motifs, and stitching methods tell you where a piece comes from and what it meant to the people who made it.

We know these traditions well: their history, their geography, and their significance. That knowledge comes with every piece we offer.

Antique & Rare Pieces

The Finest Needlework of a Vanishing Era

Alongside folk textiles, we curate a smaller selection of rare and exceptional antiques. These span from the 1800s to the early 1900s and represent some of the finest needlework of the Eastern Mediterranean: metal-thread embroidery with gold and silver, naturally dyed threads on handmade fabrics, satin stitch, chain stitch, counted-thread work, and techniques that have largely disappeared from practice.

These pieces carry the marks of age and use, which is part of their authenticity and value. They are not reproductions. They are the real thing.
