About

Authentic French Antiques

Sharon, founder of Vintage French Treasures

My name is Sharon, and I have lived in the beautiful region of Poitou-Charentes for 22 years. What began as a personal passion for French antiques deepened into a lifelong pursuit in 2011, and I have spent over 14 years since then travelling local brocantes, antique fairs, and markets in search of exceptional pieces with genuine history and character.

My particular passion is for French religious antiques — rosaries, crucifixes, icons, medals, and devotional pieces that have been part of people's lives of faith. As a Christian myself, I have a deep respect for these objects and the spiritual significance they carry. I believe they deserve to find new homes where they will be loved and appreciated.

Every item in my collection is individually selected, photographed, and described by me personally.

You can buy with confidence:

  • Over 14 years of personal experience sourcing French antiques from brocantes, fairs, and markets
  • Every item individually selected, authenticated, and described by me personally
  • Authentic items sourced directly from French brocantes, antique fairs, and markets
  • Each piece comes with my personal guarantee of authenticity

  • Personal customer service — questions are always welcome

For U.S. buyers:

Antiques over 100 years old are generally exempt from U.S. import tariffs. Whenever possible, I use prepaid (DDP) shipping to help avoid unexpected charges on delivery.
