ANTIQUE. STORIED. ENDURING.

Restored with the same discipline used to preserve architecture, art, and archives.

Acanthus Home curates antique and vintage furniture with discernment, traditional craftsmanship, and couture-level materials. Each piece is selected for presence rather than trend, shaped by time, refined by hand, and returned to the interior as a lasting point of gravity.

These are not decorative accents. They are furnishings with memory, intended to anchor space, temper architecture, and remain relevant across generations.

A Philosophy of Continuity

At Acanthus Home, luxury is defined by endurance rather than novelty.

Every object we restore carries evidence of its past. The intelligence of its construction. The marks of use that confirm it was lived with rather than merely displayed. Our role is not to overwrite that history, but to clarify it, allowing material, proportion, and restraint to guide each decision.

Restoration is approached as continuity rather than transformation. Historic forms are respected. Modern life is accommodated. The result is furniture that belongs fully to the present without severing its relationship to the past.

This is not fast luxury.
It is considered, rare, and built to endure.

Crafted to Last

Rooted in the coastal quiet of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, where Pacific light favors restraint over spectacle, Acanthus Home curates furniture with lasting presence. The collection includes hand-carved chairs, marble-topped tables, cabinets, and heirloom settees, each restored with care and reverence for original structure.

Materials are selected for integrity rather than impact. Upholstery is chosen to support form, not overpower it. Finishes are applied to clarify tone and grain, never to disguise age.

Chosen by interior designers, collectors, and discerning homeowners, Acanthus Home serves those who seek interiors with depth. These are sculptural pieces that hold a room quietly, allowing architecture, art, and lived experience to coexist with ease.

Who we are

Acanthus Home was founded from a lifelong attention to objects and the stories they quietly carry.

The founder holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, with a focus on human origins, ancestry, and material culture. That training shaped an understanding of objects as records rather than possessions, and of craftsmanship as a form of language.

Before founding Acanthus Home, she spent over two decades in aerospace, defense, and high-technology industries, leading operations and cross-functional teams across engineering, manufacturing, finance, and customer service. Precision, systems thinking, and disciplined execution defined that work.

While her professional career demanded rigor and scale, her devotion to historical design never faded. Over time, that devotion returned her to furniture not as décor, but as artifact. Restoration became a way to preserve intelligence embedded in material form.

Specializing in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century pieces, Acanthus Home reimagines heirloom furniture through a contemporary lens. Each piece is elevated beyond restoration, bridging past and present with confidence and restraint.

Why Choose Acanthus Home?

  • Each piece is structurally respected and restored using methods appropriate to its era. Alteration is never undertaken for novelty alone.

  • The collection favors rarity, proportion, and presence over volume. Pieces are conceived either as singular works or as part of tightly composed collections, where related forms share material language, scale, or intent without repetition or mass production.

    Within collections, variation is deliberate. Each object is resolved according to its own structure and use, even when materials or textiles reappear. No pieces are produced in series, and none are treated as interchangeable.

  • Restoration is an act of stewardship. By extending the life of existing objects, Acanthus Home practices sustainability through preservation rather than production.

  • Interior designers value Acanthus Home for its discretion, reliability, and understanding of scale, placement, and narrative within a room. These are pieces that integrate seamlessly into thoughtful interiors.
