Houselore offers unique pieces from historic estates, schools, businesses and private collections around the world.
Houselore was established in 2017 by historian Alexandra Jones. She was born and raised in the USA, before moving to Scotland at the age of 19. After completing an MA in European History at the University of Glasgow, she spent her early career working in museums and historic houses.
As for what you'll find here, it's simple - Alexandra picks what she likes. That could be anything from a 17th century tapestry to WW2 signage. She focuses on items that are authentic, well designed, and of interesting provenance. You'll be able to see the story behind every piece that she selects for Houselore.
At Houselore, we are happy to deal with trade and private clients. You can usually find Alexandra haunting the basements or attics of old houses, factories, businesses, and theatres as she hunts for the next treasure.
