At Cleo Collects, we specialise in sourcing and curating exceptional antiques and decorative objects that bring history, craftsmanship, and depth to contemporary interiors. Our focus lies in significant 20th-century European design, particularly Art Deco, Brutalist, and Cubist pieces, alongside rare furniture, lighting, and objects with strong provenance and sculptural presence.
We work closely with collectors, designers, and architects to source antiques that elevate a space and reflect a clear design narrative. Each item is selected with care, favouring quality, rarity, and timeless character over trend-driven decoration.
Our Antique & Decorative Arts services include:
- Antiquing sourcing from trusted European dealers, private collections, and auctions
- Valuation and advisory for collectors and resale
- Styling and placement of antiques within residential and commercial spaces
- Restoration consultation, including conservation advice and access to specialist craftspeople
- Custom Sourcing for designers, tailored to your project’s palette, scale, and mood
We believe that antiques should be lived with and loved, not just admired. Whether you're seeking a single iconic piece or looking to incorporate decorative arts throughout a project, Cleo Collects offers a thoughtful, intuitive approach that blends history with contemporary sensibility.
