Authenticated 19th & 20th-century furniture & decorative arts

The Gallery

Stitt Gallery grew out of Joanna Stitt’s lifelong passion for antiques and collecting. What began as a collector’s eye became, over more than twenty years, a dealing practice in its own right — known first as Antyki Poznań and Galeria Antyki i Sztuka JAS, serving collectors across Poland and Europe, and now refined into Stitt Gallery.

Under Joanna’s direction, the gallery is a curated destination for authenticated 19th- and 20th-century antiques. We specialise in French furniture, Asian art, European bronzes, and design objects — each piece selected for its authenticity, condition, and provenance.

The collection is not volume-driven. Pieces are acquired and released selectively, on quality, proportion and character rather than quantity — European antiques sourced primarily from France, alongside selected pieces from across Europe, with Asian holdings focused particularly on Chinese decorative art and sculpture. For significant pieces we prepare full technical documentation — measured drawings, a photographic record, material analysis and provenance research where available — so the paperwork travels with the sale and supports both the buyer’s confidence and the piece’s long-term value.

Working with the Trade

A significant part of our work is with professional clients — people who need pieces that are right for a specific room, period, atmosphere or brief. We understand those requirements and work to meet them.

🏛

Interior Designers

We work with interior designers sourcing pieces to specification — period, scale, material, provenance. Whether a single hero piece or furnishing an entire room to a brief, we can advise, reserve and hold items while projects develop.

Trade enquiries welcome. Viewing by appointment.

🎬

Film & Television Set Decoration

We have supplied antique furniture and decorative objects for film and television productions, working with directors and set decorators to dress rooms to period specification and atmosphere. Our breadth of European and Asian stock makes us a practical resource for production sourcing.

Period briefs handled with discretion and speed.

📸

Editorial & Magazine Prop Styling

Objects from the collection have featured in editorial shoots and magazine styling. We understand the requirements of prop styling — availability, condition, photogenic quality — and can accommodate short-term access alongside sale.

Available for editorial and commercial projects.
