How we source
Being permanently based in France gives us daily access to exceptional antiques and to the people who know them best. Over the years, we have built a wide network of long-standing relationships with trusted dealers, fairs, markets, and private sources throughout France.
Chez Pluie is not a marketplace. Every piece is selected, inspected, photographed, measured, described, packed, and shipped by our own team in Provence. We curate carefully and consistently, choosing antiques for their authenticity, decorative strength, quality, patina, condition, and relevance to contemporary interiors.
Our collection includes French antique furniture, mirrors, lighting, garden antiques, pottery, architectural pieces, and decorative objects, from farmhouse tables, Louis Philippe mirrors, commodes, buffets, and chandeliers to confit pots, tian bowls, cruches, garden planters, wrought iron furniture, paintings, sculptures, and distinctive decorative pieces for the home and garden.
All-inclusive pricing
We offer all-inclusive pricing for US-bound orders, so there is nothing more to pay at checkout or after delivery. Shipping, taxes, and tariffs are included.
For shipments to other destinations, local taxes and duties are excluded, such as VAT in the UK and GST in Canada and Australia.
Meet the team
We work from our warehouse in Sablet, Provence, completed in June 2025 and purpose-built for the safe storage, handling, packing, and shipping of antiques. Our offices are in the same building, which keeps curation, photography, logistics, sales, marketing, and client service closely connected.
Our team is stable, close-knit, and deeply experienced, with full-time local staff across curation, photography, packing, logistics, sales, and marketing. Nimble, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about French antiques, we work closely together to ensure every piece is handled with care, from the moment it is photographed to the moment it is packed and shipped.
Together, we have earned the official ranking of France’s Number One Furniture Store on Trustpilot, a position we are proud to have held for the last four years. Our careful methods, honest communication, and consistent standards are why clients return to us year after year.

Shipping for sourcing trips
If you are coming to France to source antiques in person, we can help you get your purchases home safely through our specialist logistics service, Provence Export.
Whether you are shopping in Paris, Bordeaux, Normandy, Provence, the Côte d’Azur, or elsewhere in France, we provide a specialist logistics service for clients buying antiques directly from dealers, markets, fairs, and brocantes.
We can help coordinate collection, storage, packing, export, and international shipping, giving you a practical way to enjoy the sourcing experience without worrying about how each piece will get home.
We have also developed an instant shipping quoting app so you can estimate shipping costs as you shop. This allows you to understand your likely landed costs in real time, compare pieces more confidently, and manage your budget before committing to a purchase.
