Maybe you're a little tired.
Not broken. Not done. Just the kind of tired that comes from being someone who feels everything deeply in a world that doesn't always slow down long enough to notice beauty.
But you still do. Notice it, I mean.
You still stop for the unexpected thing. The object with a past. The chair that shouldn't work in that color but absolutely does. The lamp that makes a whole room feel like somewhere you've always wanted to be. You still believe — quietly, stubbornly — that your space should move you. That beautiful things matter. That a room can hold you the way a good friend does.
That's who I find these things for.
My name is Sian, pronounced Sean; it’s Welsh. I'm a Chicagoland-based curator, collector, and impassioned rescuer of things that are just too good to let die.
I find them in estate sales, markets, private collections and forgotten corners — centuries-old European folk antiques, postmodern Italian glass, French neoclassical forms, MCM structures, hand-wrought jewelry, textiles with soul. Things that have lived. Things that remember.
I bring them together not by period or style but by feeling. The raw beside the refined. The ornate beside the minimal. The serious beside the playful. Because that's how the most interesting rooms work — and honestly, that's how the most interesting people work too.
I source for those who seek the storied over the trend. Who want their home to feel like a place that knows them. Who aren't afraid of a bold stripe or an unexpected pairing or a piece that makes a guest stop mid-sentence and ask Where did you find that.
Every piece in the Glosmem collection is chosen for what I call its structural storytelling soul — the quality of being both formally interesting and quietly alive with history.
