The Collection
The present collection is meant to enrich and encompass the “everyday” aspects of lifestyle and living in our present, but often hectic world. All of our antique or collectable artefacts, are carefully chosen in order to give added value and colour to that very precious cultural commodity of well being called life; or simply “lifestyle and living”.
This in turn also means enjoying good quality historical and useful objects, which give us pleasure by investing a sparkle into our lives. This might be at home or at work, be it in the shape of a modern glass desk design, or a gilt, late 18th century Georgian antique mirror.
Whatever the artefact and the period be it; modern design, art deco, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Victorian, Georgian. We are well tailored to fit all tastes and needs of our clients, and also accept search commissions..
The firm is dedicated to the use and promotion of quality, aesthetically pleasing and useful antiques, designer collectables or memorabilia. Many of these artefacts have a particular cultural and historical connection to the past. Some good examples of this are; the Chinese collectables from the 1752 wreck of the cargo ship; the Geldermalsen, right down to the more modern design Art Deco period of the 20’s and 30’s.
We wish to highlight the memorabilia, antiques, collectables of which, many people enjoy and derive pleasure from. It is the interaction of people with those objects with which we surround ourselves in our own particular individual environments, that is so important. It is these very artefacts, which should all greatly add to those very special and necessary quality moments, in our daily lives.
This is also emphasized by our articles concerning antiques, and advice concerning the upkeep and valuations of objects.
It is the use of antiques and collectables in the home, garden or office which creates a subtle diversity including a fine sense of balance and well being. All of this, constitutes part of a highly enriched and modern dynamic lifestyle.
The blending of antique and historic objects and styles, together with modern design give a much wider range to the concept of lifestyle and living. This type of lifestyle and living, obviously may appear somewhat exclusive, and may possibly only interest certain people. Perhaps those people, who very much enjoy living in the present, but in addition are very conscious of the past and who are also gazing towards future horizons.
Therefore take a journey, ranging from the raving madness of the roaring 20’s Art Deco Period, and travel backwards to the ages of Revolution and Discovery.
The following points are also perhaps relevant; David Lombardo has great a passion for research, teaching and collecting along with the history and development of fashions. Furthermore he has also restored a number of historically important buildings, giving them both a new function and a lease of life. He also now, runs the firm of “Lifestyle antiques forum and collectables”, with a very dedicated and enthusiastic “staff” of assistants and high quality specialists, in the different areas of restoring objects and buildings.
Together with others who are attracted to either antiques and collectables, he is also an expert at the Internationally respected site of “my antique furniture collection” where any advice on antiques and collectables; is freely available to all who are interested.
