‘Objects travel. Inspiration travels further’
For centuries, the trade between East and West transformed the way Europe collected, decorated and lived. 17th century Dutch ships arrived carrying Chinese porcelain, which was the base of Delftware, Japanese lacquer inspired European interiors, and Asian motifs found new life in European craftsmanship. We collect these objects for their beauty — but also for the remarkable journeys and encounters they represent.
