This is our story. A few years ago, a small painting by Australian artist Alice Muskett changed my life by introducing me to collecting. I have spent my career working in publishing. I love books. I love stories. But I have always been drawn to art and antiques. I said to myself, one day I will buy myself a piece of art. And then so many years later I bought my first painting. 

Georgegen was started with a desire to create an online antique store where each piece is carefully selected for its history. A store that would be full of stories and that would be interesting for all. From the first time antique buyer, to the seasoned collector, to designers and decorators. We focus on exceptional, and interesting, decorative antiques from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. 

At Georgegen you’ll find a collection of rooms, each with an individual focus, but all are dedicated to helping you discover interesting, unique antiques. We source antiques which retain their patina, the marks made by the passage of time which cannot be replicated. Leave your mark. Let an antique become part of your story until it’s time to pass it on to the next generation, your children, a family member, a beloved friend. You’ll then have something that becomes part of your shared story. Nostalgia for times gone by and memories you made together.

THE GEN

From the Georgians to the Victorians each piece carries it’s own stories with it. At the end of every description, you will find The Gen. Here you might discover more about the person who made the piece, the era when it was made, or just a little bit of history you might not have known. Perhaps this brings a sense of connection, and maybe even understanding, across generations. Each piece, shaped by and for generations. It’s why we are called Georgegen.

At Georgegen we believe you should always buy what you love, something you find interesting, inexpensive or otherwise.
