1. Moissonnier

Imagine if Marie Antoinette and the King of Macarons, Pierre Hermé, had a love-child. The result would be Moissonnier, an old-school company established in 1885, crafting according to the traditions of the past but with a twist. You will be dazzled by the Marie Antoinette 18th-century, macaron-colored dressers, armchairs and sideboards in emerald, raspberry, lemon yellow and mandarin orange. Moissonnier resurrects timeless furniture from the past and then customizes their wing chairs, tables, and buffets with modern patinas and the colors of the rainbow.

3. Sentou Galerie

The Sentou name gained popularity in Paris in the 1940s when Robert Sentou began selling unique design objects like Japanese lamps and the famous spiral staircases by Roger Tallon. Sentou is now a favorite Parisian design and lifestyle brand offering furnishings and designer collections in all categories — lighting, textiles, tableware, and decorative items. There are three locations in Paris; we're particularly fond of this location in the Marais.

4. Jardins du Roi Soleil

Along with our pal Lorde, we all want to be royal. Jardins du Roi Soleil means "Gardens of the Sun King" and it specializes in garden furniture inspired by the decorative arts of Chateau de Versailles. They are, in fact, the official supplier to the Palace of Versailles.

Think solid oak benches, hand-made cast-iron vases, trellis lanterns, and planters. Their piece de la resistance is a patented version of the exact orange tree box planter designed by André Le Notre in 1670 and used by Louis XIV to decorate his gardens at Versailles. As you would expect, everything here is crafted in France.

6. Galerie Alexandre Biaggi

Born in Corsica, Alexandre Biaggi was always intrigued with the old things in his father's antique furniture collection. After graduating with a law degree, Biaggi went on to get a diploma in auctioneer studies. (Who knew there was such a thing?) After graduating he started his career by selling antiques at the Saint-Ouen Flea market.

In 1996, he established his own shop, focusing French 19th- and 20th-century furniture. He is also the exclusive dealer of contemporary designers Herve vander Straeten and Nicolas Aubagnac. Today, you can browse his collection of high-end lighting, mirrors, tables and chairs, and fine arts in his Saint Germain studio.

7. Galerie May

Everything sold at Galerie May — tables, chairs, shelves, lamps, mirrors — is a tribute to the decorative arts of the 20th and 21st centuries. The chic yet quirky gallery belongs to artist Maylis Queyrat and interior designer Charles Tassin and features furnishings with 1940s-1970s revival glamour. Apart from their interior design projects, Gallery May also makes furniture using traditional techniques and materials like lacquer and ceramic. The result is minimalist with exquisite details and finishes.
