from france to raleigh: the journey of our french antiques

At La Maison, every piece in our Raleigh storefront has a story. While select items in our collection are authentic French antiques, the rest are carefully chosen new pieces sourced from France and beyond. Together, they create a layered, collected look that defines the La Maison aesthetic and makes our store a destination for furniture and home decor in Raleigh.

 

 

Sourced in France, Curated With Intention

Martha travels to France to source a small selection of true antique pieces alongside furniture, dishware, and decor that reflects timeless French style. She visits markets, dealers, and workshops, choosing items for their craftsmanship, materials, and ability to live beautifully in modern homes.

 

The antique pieces are chosen sparingly and thoughtfully. These are items with history, patina, and character. Surrounding them are brand new furniture pieces, lighting, and tabletop items sourced from trusted makers and vendors, both in France and elsewhere, that complement the antiques without competing with them.

 

 

Creating a Collected Look

The heart of La Maison is not about filling a space with only antiques. It is about creating balance. Mixing old and new gives a home warmth and depth while still feeling livable and fresh.

 

French chests, tables, and select antique pieces are paired with newly made furniture, curated dishware, mirrors, and decorative objects. This approach allows customers to incorporate one statement antique or build an entire room with pieces that feel cohesive, intentional, and timeless.

 

 

From Sourcing to Storefront in Raleigh

Once selected, pieces make their way to our Raleigh storefront, where they are styled to inspire real homes. Furniture is arranged as it might be used in everyday life, chests are layered with ceramics and objects, and tables are set with dishware meant to be enjoyed, not stored away.

 

Because our collection includes both antiques and new finds, the inventory is always evolving. Each visit to La Maison offers something different, whether you are searching for a one-of-a-kind antique or a beautifully made new piece to anchor your space.

 

At La Maison, we are proud to bring authentic French antiques to Raleigh. We invite you to visit our storefront, explore the collection, and discover the beauty of pieces that have traveled far to find the right home.
