The Drawing Room

Sourcing

Tell us what you are looking for. We will find it.

Some pieces never appear in a showroom. The right console for a difficult wall, a second armchair to complete a pair, a maker you have been watching for years — these are found by looking, patiently and in the right places.

That is the work we already do every day. Give us the brief, however precise or however vague, and we will search auction houses, estate sales, dealer networks, and our own contacts here and abroad until the piece turns up.

Brief

Send dimensions, room photographs, references, a budget — or simply describe what is missing.

Search

We hunt, verify condition and provenance, and bring you options with honest notes on each.

Secure

You choose. We negotiate, arrange any restoration, and see it delivered to the room.

What we look for

A specific piece

A named maker, model, or period. You know exactly what it is; you need someone watching for it.

A specific problem

A wall, an alcove, an awkward measurement. You know the shape of the gap, not the answer.

The missing half

A matching chair, an extra leaf, a replacement shade. Sets are broken far more often than they are found.

Something as found

Good bones at the right price, sourced for you to refinish or reupholster to your own taste.

How it works

  • The initial conversation is free, and there is no obligation to buy what we find.
  • We agree on a budget range and a fee before the search begins — no surprises later.
  • Every option comes with condition notes, provenance where we can establish it, and a landed price including shipping.
  • Searches can take days or months. The good ones usually take months. We will tell you honestly which this is likely to be.
