Sometimes the rarest of gems can be found in the most unlikely place. You know how you occasionally discover a really fabulous restaurant simply by trying something that’s a little off-the-beaten-path? Well, it’s time to make a new discovery, but this time in the field of French antiques.
Village Antiques, a veritable paradise of Europe’s finest and most fabulous antique pieces, has just opened up in Houston. This designer market is one of the city’s best kept secrets – only those who truly know and love antiques have been lucky enough to get a taste of what’s on offer! Village Antiques offers a full range of French antiques, from charming painted items to rustic heavy wood pieces and lovely stately objects. Like diamonds in the rough, each antique has been carefully sourced by a team of dealers, and now lies like a hidden treasure, waiting to be recognized and taken home by some appreciative eye!
Each booth is a reflection of an individual dealer’s personality. Most exciting of all for us is that we are showcasing our own collection there too. After many years of planning, and two trips to France, we are now debuting the Amitha Verma Antiques collection.

Each piece has been painstakingly selected on the basis of style, color and functionality. As an interior designer, I know how important it is for pieces to be versatile and multifunctional – a simple table could end up as a nightstand, a bath vanity, an entry hall piece or a TV cabinet. Each of these functions is considered when choosing each piece. And of course, a big factor is the falling-in-love element! I definitely have a moment of falling for each piece – I guess the gals will have to sell them all when I’m away!
