"This is less a dealer’s shop and more a decorator’s one — I choose pieces that I think are well made, stylish and beautiful. The best houses, in my opinion, are a mix of things found over the course of years in a mix of different styles and epochs. Once you start following trends in a home, you submit yourself to creating something that is instantly outdated. Antiques are the best way to avoid this, and so long as they are well-selected, they can still feel resonant in a modern setting."
Jamie Sharp is an antiques dealer with a degree in History of Art and a lifelong education in aesthetics. His eye has been shaped not only by formal study, but by an instinctive fascination with beauty, storytelling, and the enduring power of objects.
After decades of stagnancy, the antiques market is alive again, fuelled by a generation disillusioned with disposable modernity and eager for layered, more sophisticated interiors. Jamie’s selection reflects this shift, mixing together styles and epochs, from 18th-century Italian and English furniture, to Chinese export paintings and Irish mirrors with foxed glass.
