Based in our historic manor in the heart of the French Périgord Vert, my work is centred on the acquisition and preservation of fine oil paintings and decorative antiques.
Tulip Thistle Antiques takes its name from our two beautiful Labrador girls, Tulip and Thistle, who are our constant companions throughout our daily life and work. The business is inseparable from its setting where the preservation of the manoir and our art and antique collections bring frequent challenges along with a feeling of immense satisfaction.
We source pieces that carry a specific aesthetic charm—pieces that bring character, beauty and historical depth to a room. While our collection often includes notable Art Nouveau and Art Deco pieces, the focus is always on the quality of the object itself. We look for items that offer a sense of composure and craftsmanship, bridging the gap between historical origins and modern interiors.
Fine art is at the core of what we do. Our on-site studio provides museum-standard conservation and restoration for oil paintings, using traditional, reversible techniques.
Our approach is straightforward: we provide objects and artwork that are authentic, well-preserved, and chosen with a discerning eye. Whether it is a 19th-century oil painting or a rare decorative find, each piece is selected for its ability to charm and to stand the test of time.
