TIME FOR TEA ANTIQUES & ECCENTRICITIES is a fine antiques and curiosities studio and store based in Madrid with associates in London, Paris, Vermont and Marbella, graphic design and interior design firm serving a worldwide clientele of collectors, designers and museums alike.
As an avid and eccentric collector and artist with a passion for beautiful things, I have the strong conviction that antiques and art works are only really worth having if they give pleasure to their owners every day. I also know that buying antiques and art, however great or small the sum on the price tag, is all about pleasure.
I am constantly searching troughout in the UK, USA, the Netherlands, Austria and France for unusual and interesting antiques and decorative art, to please and surprise friends and clients. I have developed my own language that translates in an unashamedly romantic and tirelessly imaginative style: is all about adding new layers of life to an object or space. I am more interested in objects than a particular look, although I love living in a Dickensian way. And, maybe, this is my seal. I am a romantic and I prefer things in their raw state because they have more of their original, historic feel.
My life as a correspondent, writer and photographer, travelling around the world, has given me the chance to learn other ways to express myself through the antiques and design, and the way to share my passions and knowledge took me to make the decision to open my own showroom, a place where you will find a selection of Victorian Taxidermy and Naturalia, Decorative Objects, Art, Antique Textiles and Costume, and more to come...
In addition to the fine antiques and items shown on this website, I´m pleased to invite you to visit our Art and Web Design Studio, the Interiors Design Studio, the Stationery Taylor and the Antique Textiles restoration department.
