● THE JOURNAL · THE FOUNDER'S DIARY
The Journal — slow reading
Essays on objects, guides to reading things, and faceless notes — the founder's observations. Nothing is sold here — here one thinks.
The Journal is NEW ANTIQ's public writing about objects and how to read them: essays, close readings and portraits of people. Nothing is sold here.

A COLUMN · THE NEW ANTIQUARS
● PORTRAITS OF REAL PEOPLE · SOON
People who began their own collections — and learned to see.
Conversations with those who read objects: collectors, dealers, designers, heirs. Not about status — about the way of looking. The first portraits are in the making.
