About Cabinet de Luxe

Cabinet de Luxe is a place to come for high quality vintage design. The more out-of-the-ordinary, the better.

They say a good ‘eye’ is innate - you have it or you don’t - but with maturity and experience, a good eye develops a better understanding of ‘merit’ - the uniqueness, design quality, integrity, craftsmanship and history of each item. It becomes more fearless and adventurous, less constrained by trends. I hope you find that here. An adventure in seeing. A place to find unusually good things.

Aside from a love of visual culture and the decorative arts, I’ve always had a strong service ethos. I started my working life at that great Melbourne institution, Georges of Collins Street, roaming many departments, including work at the first Chanel boutique in Australia, housed in the beautiful mezzanine area at the back of the store. It was an education in the workings of high-end retail trade - the customers, buyers, managers and characters who made the store what it was.

After that formative experience, I studied Art History, Sociology and Cultural Studies. I had some misadventures pursuing a career in academia in the UK but, throughout, I was always collecting. My life in unusual objects blossomed in the UK where I lived for seven years, visiting many British and European museums, galleries and important homes. I made some extraordinary finds during that time, and sold them through Christies and Sotheby's.

I opened Cabinet de Luxe as an online high-end vintage brand in 2014 after returning to Melbourne. Based on the quality of my offering, 1stDibs invited me to join them in 2017, where I was quickly recognised as a Platinum (highest tier) dealer with 100% five star reviews.

Cabinet de Luxe has become a go-to source for some of the finest designers and collectors worldwide - Studio Shamshiri, Simone Haag, Flack Studio among many others. My offerings can be found gracing beautiful interiors all over the world, and featured in magazines like Architectural Digest, Vogue Living etc.

It’s a joy to do this sort of work. You can confidently expect great service. Always.
