About us

The Lineage journey began with summers playing hide-and-seek in a forgotten French chateau; a floral business; and a seaside cottage tied to Welsh ancestry.

Antiques and secret gardens connect us to the lives and stories of those who came before us. And, each of our collections is a testament to the craftsmanship, history, and cultural traditions that continue to shape this beautiful part of the world. 

 

Inspired By Nature

At Lineage, we are inspired by the elegant, nature-themed pieces of the Rococo, Victorian, and Art Nouveau styles that flourished in 18th and 19th century Europe. 

We source everything from Europe. With most things coming from the United Kingdom, and mirrors, frames, and artwork occasionally coming from France. Nate and I are the sole curators at Lineage. And, we are personally involved with every step of the process from sourcing, packing and shipping to ensure quality, authenticity, and careful handling of each piece. 

  

Attention to Detail

Client satisfaction is at the forefront of our business philosophy. Having been on both sides of this business, we believe that every interaction with our customers should be positive and enriching. Moreover, we aim to create a lasting relationship with each of our clients. From the moment you browse our collections to the final stages of your purchase, we will always strive to exceed your expectations.

We understand that purchasing antiques is not just a transaction; it is an emotional investment. Each piece has its own story, and we want you to feel confident and excited about putting one of our antiques in your own home. Our commitment to transparency means that we provide you with detailed descriptions and histories - to the best of our ability - for every item, allowing you to make informed decisions each step of the way. 

 

Ongoing Care

Finally, as antique collectors ourselves, we know the importance of their "aftercare". And, we want to ensure that your experience with us continues long after your purchase. Antique furniture is often made better than modern day goods. But, our antiques travel a long way before they reach your home. So, we always treat incoming wood products with a conditioner before listing them. And, we carefully clean all tableware and china with gentle cleaning agents so they're ready to be used. Post purchase, our team is available to provide you with ongoing guidance on care and maintenance of your antiques and heirlooms to ensure you can preserve their beauty and integrity for years to come.

If you have questions, or you are looking for something in particular, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can email us at info@lineagedesign.com and someone will promptly be in touch. 

 

Cheers,

Elizabeth & Nate
