Preserve History, Live Beautifully
My career began with a natural talent for arranging and designing objects, a passion that I nurtured from an early age. Over the past 30 years, I refined my eye through extensive global travel and gained invaluable experience as a Director at California’s largest West Coast Fine Arts auction house. This journey ultimately led me to a 20-year tenure as the Gallery Director for Maison Felice, where I curated multiple European antique furniture collections, blending history with timeless elegance.

Exceptional Acquisitions
We look forward to discovering the unique stories and value your pieces can bring.
Succession Designs acquires furniture and decorative interior and exterior pieces outright, warehousing them until the perfect project arises where they can be showcased. Given the challenge of sourcing high-quality items on short notice, our approach benefits both sellers and buyers by ensuring a seamless connection, allowing unique pieces to be discovered and purchased at just the right moment.
We are dedicated to sourcing furnishings that are truly unique in quality, with a preference for handmade pieces from the 17th through 19th centuries. However, we also embrace visually compelling contemporary pieces that resonate with our aesthetic sensibilities.
If you possess estate pieces you wish to sell, we are eager to explore their potential inclusion in our curated collection. Please text photos and any pertinent details regarding the provenance of your items to 310.595.4010.
