02 / Point of view

Less, but better considered.

Private Collection is a small marketplace for objects that earn their place. We work directly with makers, workshops, and old stockrooms to keep the path from source to home visible.

Every listing names its material, its condition, and its limitations. No urgency theatre. No anonymous abundance. Just a tighter edit for people who notice.

New drops land on the first Thursday.

03 / The route home

The parcel is part of the object.

We wrap in recycled paper, mark every package by hand, and send twice a week. You receive a short provenance card with the piece, not a mountain of packaging.
