Introducing
About Us
La Boheme encapsulates the beauty and romance of authentic period living, offering stand out statement pieces for your home.
We’re led by our own personal style, rather than passing trends. Inspired by the Golden Age of Europe - from the opulence and grandeur of 19th century European palaces the streets of Bohemian and the rich culture of the Belle Epoque - think Renoir, Zola, Picasso. To the sun drenched villages of historic Provence. This is about beautiful living and living beautifully. Making life an art.
“The secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of everyday life and elevating them into art
Introducing
Our Collections
While our collection is a moveable feast, we specialise in French and European antiques. We love beautiful authentic pieces that have provenance and a story behind them. Our range includes antique gilt mirrors, chandeliers, antique art and vintage tableware. Every item is unique, interesting and always beautiful.
“Beauty will save the world
About Us
Among the Bohemians
We came up with the name of La Boheme on our honeymoon in Italy. The name comes from the eponymous Italian Opera. The story of four struggling bohemians - a poet, a painter, a musician and a philosopher in 19th century Paris. We loved the Italian and French references and with so many of our pieces being inspired by the artists of the period, it seemed to fit perfectly.
La Boheme celebrates beauty, history, art, creativity, romance and freedom. Not unlike those did in 19th Century Paris.

Exceptional antiques and art and outstanding customer service
I have ordered several pieces of beautiful art and antique mirrors from LaBoheme. Each of the objects I purchased were stunning and in great condition. The customer service was exceptional. I had a question about a piece of art work and had the pleasure of communicating with Lauren, who subsequently helped me source several unique antique pieces for my home. I cannot rate LaBoheme highly enough. Lauren has an amazing eye. Overall my experience was outstanding and I cannot wait for my next purchase.

Stunning collections and amazing customer care!
I purchased the Aphelia ring as special treat for myself and it has quickly become a treasured favourite! Lauren was so helpful and provided extra information about the ring, she really made the whole experience so easy and so personal. It's clear how much care and thought she puts into every item sourced. I'd happily purchase other special pieces in future!

I’m so pleased with my item! I know it will be something I treasure forever. Couldn’t be happier with the service either. I would buy everything if my bank account would let me. Lauren has such a great eye for beautiful things.
