Petite Antiques - Tiny Things, Timeless Tales

Handpicked with Heart - Petite Antiques Collection

Handpicked with heart from French flea markets and tucked-away brocantes, our Petite Antiques collection celebrates life’s quiet, beautifully imperfect details. These are treasures gently aged, gracefully imperfect, each carrying their own history, memory, and charm.

From delicate old brass vases and trays to intriguing trinkets and timeworn curiosities, every piece is meant to be discovered, cherished, and thoughtfully styled into your space.

Some of our petites are true French finds - sourced lovingly during our travels and marked accordingly in their descriptions. Others, while found closer to home, are chosen with equal care and an eye for stories, offering a more affordable way to welcome timeless charm into your world.

Perfect for romantics, collectors, and lovers of meaningful beauty. Placed intentionally on a shelf, beside your bed, or in a cozy corner, these petites softly whisper history and charm into your everyday life.

Because sometimes, the smallest things hold the biggest stories. La vie est belle.


A little note before you purchase:

Each piece in this collection is preloved and imperfect by nature.  That’s part of what makes it special. We describe items to the best of our ability, including any noticeable flaws, and aim to photograph each piece clearly. While we try to identify materials where possible, please understand that some compositions may be uncertain due to the age and origin of the item.

If you’d like more information or closer photos before purchasing, we’re more than happy to assist, just send us a message.

We accept returns only if the item arrives broken or is clearly not as described, and not for change of mind. As a small, heartfelt business, every order is prepared and packed with love and care, and refunds are offered only where truly necessary.

Thank you for supporting slow, meaningful finds and for embracing the beauty of pieces with a story.

Merci x
