Our story

Shades of Pale is a trusted family business with over 20 years of experience in the decorative antiques trade. With a deep passion for history and craftsmanship, we travel extensively across Europe, meticulously sourcing rare and distinctive pieces that embody the rich heritage of French, Swedish, Dutch, and other European antiques. Our collection spans a wide range of beautifully curated furniture—from elegant Gustavian commodes and dry-scraped armoires to glazed 18th-century Georgian bookcases and deconstructed French armchairs. Each piece is thoughtfully restored to its former glory, reupholstered in luxurious Belgian linen, ensuring they not only retain their timeless beauty but also offer enduring function for modern homes. Every item we offer is a testament to artistry and tradition, carefully selected to bring a sense of history, style, and character to your space.

Our intention every day, is to create a warm, welcoming space where every visitor feels at home. We take pride in offering carefully curated, provenance-rich pieces that stand the test of time, each with its own story to tell. This commitment to quality and craftsmanship has earned us the trust of leading interior designers, private collectors, and fellow antique dealers alike. Whether you’re searching for a timeless treasure or an exceptional statement piece, we are here to guide you on your journey.
