Inspired by co-founder Prosper Assouline’s lifelong passion for discovery, Vintage Objects is a celebration of collecting as an art form. Each piece—carefully chosen by Prosper alongside the brand’s in-house connoisseurs—comes from antique markets, prestigious auction houses, and venerable dealers known for their discernment. The result is a living “cabinet de curiosités,” an ever-evolving tableau of sculpted busts, celestial globes, trinket boxes, ashtrays, bookstands, and even select pieces of vintage furniture, each imbued with a sense of story and soul.
Inside the boutiques, these objects transform Assouline’s spaces into cultural salons—destinations for inspiration and conversation where literature meets art, design, and history. Many of the items are intimately tied to the world of the library, echoing Assouline’s belief that a library is more than a room—it is a sanctuary for ideas, aesthetics, and meaningful objects.
Priced between $500 and $3,000, each vintage piece invites collectors and aesthetes alike to live with beauty and memory. Like Assouline’s iconic volumes, they are designed to be collected, cherished, and passed down.
In the words of Prosper Assouline, “To collect is to tell your own story through the objects you love. Each one reveals something about who you are and the world you dream of inhabiting.”
