Behind the velvet rope of Europe's hidden antiques market

Source Me It was not built from a business plan. It was built from a lifetime in the trade. Angela Morrison grew up in the European antiques world — her family has maintained dealer relationships across Paris, London, and Maastricht for over thirty years. These are not professional contacts. They are friendships, forged across decades of fairs, auctions, and private viewings. When Angela calls a dealer in the 7th arrondissement, they answer because they know her.

The business draws on a combined heritage spanning Christie's, Portobello Road, the Marché aux Puces, and private dealing across five continents. It is a heritage of knowing not just what things are worth, but where to find the things that are not supposed to be findable.

We source across the full spectrum of design history: 18th and 19th century antiques and fine art, mid-century modern masterpieces, vintage designer pieces from the 1960s through the 1980s, contemporary art, garden antiques and architectural salvage, and bespoke commissions from master European craftsmen. The period is irrelevant. The quality is not.

Source Me It is a private access business. We do not list inventory. We do not operate a marketplace. We search — on your behalf, through channels that are not open to the public — and we find things that cannot be found any other way.

The pieces we source sit in dealer back rooms, private collections, estate clearances, freeport storage, and warehouse stock, trading quietly between trusted professionals. They include furniture, fine art, sculpture, silver, ceramics, garden antiques, architectural salvage, and contemporary works direct from artists' studios.

Based in London with deep roots across Europe, we work with private collectors, interior designers, garden and landscape designers, procurement specialists, and family offices. Our clients share one thing: a requirement for pieces that are not available through conventional channels.
