About me

 

I studied my passion for Victorian Art, Literature, and History in London, where I grew up. Now I live in the mountains of South West France surrounded by nature. 

Having always been an admirer and collector of antiques, especially books and maps, I enjoy learning how cities I know have evolved and changed over the decades. I love my bookshelves lined with well thumbed, shabby chic classics that I have rescued or scoured the flea markets and second hand bookshops for.

Now the searching I do is for you (because I just can't fit anything else in my farmhouse). I adore the French ironstone, or terre de fer, transferware and here is a selection in the photo above.

I hope I can find you something that you will cherish. Everything I have found and put in the BalthazarBoutique I have fallen in love with and I hope you will too.

I leave you with the view that is a 5 minute saunter from my office.
