The antique world, seen from the inside.

Begin with intention

Not everyone arrives looking for the same thing. Begin where it calls you.

A place shaped by experience, not trends

I built Atelier Chatelaine for people drawn to antiques, history, and the stories objects carry. It brings together pieces I source myself in the markets and brocantes of France and England, small group buying journeys, and practical guidance for navigating this world with confidence.

At its heart, this is about learning how to see. How to recognize quality, read provenance and craftsmanship, and choose well. Whether you are collecting for your home, sourcing for a business, or simply curious, you are welcome here.

Antique trips

Sourcing antiques is as much about place as it is about the objects themselves. I plan each journey around the markets I buy from all year, the dealers I know by name, and the villages, meals and quiet corners that make France and England worth the crossing. Six guests at a time, always.

Coaching

Whether you are growing a vintage business or refining a collection, coaching with me is grounded in what I do every week at the markets. Together we bring order to buying, pricing and presentation, and build your confidence in your own eye.

Meet Kathy

I live in England and spend my year sourcing at its fairs and markets, and across the Channel in France, learning from the dealers who know these places best. Atelier Chatelaine is how I share that world, through the pieces I bring home, the things I have learned, and the journeys I host.
