Lolo French Antiques

Laurent Gouon is the owner and founder of Lolo French Antiques and More. Lolo, as he is affectionately known, has the French sense of joie de vivre. He brings that zest for life to every aspect of his life, whether it be furniture, food, family, or foolishness. His venture into the world of antiques was inspired by his father and has been his passion since the early 2000s. He travels and buys all over France, scouring markets and fairs, mansions and chateaux, dimly lit warehouses and back alleys lined with family-owned shops for unique finds for the home.

For Lolo French Antiques, it is not just a matter of buying in France and then displaying these items back on U.S. soil. Once the treasure trove of stately antiques, quaint and rare objets d'art, and flea market brocante arrives from the warehouse in France, Lolo begins the process of restoring each piece with great care and attention to detail. It is his talent and expertise in repairing, restoring, and refinishing fine furniture that sets him apart from other antique dealers in the Birmingham area and makes this store one that any antique lover will want to visit.

Lolo French Antiques has a delightful and extensive inventory of French and European antiques. These include Venetian chandeliers, trumeau mirrors that Lolo designs and handcrafts, 18th century period pieces, Art Deco items, mid-century modern finds, and new French-inspired décor.

Fans of French antiques in the Birmingham, Alabama area would do well to sign up for the Lolo French Antiques mailing list. An announcement is made each time a new shipment arrives from France, so recipients of this message can make a beeline to the antique store to check out the merchandise. Lolo is also happy to keep an eye out for specific antiques and collectibles, so avid collectors are encouraged to stop by for a chat.
