As an interior designer, Im always searching for beautiful antiques and often extend my search internationally. I recently discovered Dorians shop and not only does he carry exquisite pieces with good value, hes a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to modify an antique to suit my needs. He has great resources from restorers to shippers and the entire process from purchase to international delivery was seamless. A gentleman with a great eye!

I love going to Dorian's antiques store when strolling in the neighborhood. I often find THE surprising and unique piece that can really add a little twist to a room. His selection is extremely refined and I think his taste is unfailing. The man himself is so charming that it is always a pleasure to pop up in his lovely boutique.
