Le Déchineur

Le Déchineur, the brainchild of Gaetan de Paix de Coeur, is located not far from the banks of the Seine, on the outskirts of Paris. It is located in a rather rural area, with not too many other businesses in the vicinity. The property resembles an old farmhouse, accessed through a gate behind old stone walls. All of which is incredibly fitting for a store filled with historic, unique items that will impress antique collectors as well as the more casual shopper.

Excellent service is guaranteed when shopping at Le Déchineur, whether you enter the physical building or shop at their online store. It is clear that the owner is passionate about his craft and will go out of his way to help customers, whether it is finding something specific or providing fascinating information about his pieces. Those who like to learn the story behind the item they are interested in will be fully satisfied here! Collectors should take the opportunity to strike up a conversation, either in person or remotely, as Gaetan de Paix de Coeur is as happy to search for desired items as he is to sell his current stock.

Although Le Déchineur is open almost every day of the week, new items are regularly added to the shelves, so there is always something new to see. The style is primarily industrial, with handcrafted furniture and a large selection of 20th century furniture. At any given time, shoppers can expect to find an exceptional selection of high quality items, either “untouched” or renovated according to the rules of the trade. You can find furniture, glassware, clocks, lamps and lighting fixtures, storage cabinets, old books, kitchen items, Chesterfields, sports memorabilia, vintage toys, luggage, signage, and much more. As mentioned, although most of the items have been restored with respect for the rules of art to give them a new life, some are ripe for a little restoration. So if you like that kind of work, this shop should definitely be on your list!

The prices of the items at Le Déchineur are reasonable, making the great items available to a wide range of customers. There are often deals and bargains to be had, so it is always worth starting a dialog if you see something you like in this store – it could be sitting happily in your living room soon!
