The Gap We Close
Where the marketplaces stop, Issha begins.
1stDibs, Chairish, and Pamono opened the world of design antiques. But breadth came at the cost of certainty. Issha is the opposite bet: one material, mastered — brass — with authentication and curation built into every piece.

How It Works
From estate to your space, documented.
A modern retail experience layered over old-world diligence.
01
Sourced
Our scouts work estate sales, ateliers, and private collections across Europe and the Levant to find brass with a story.
02
Authenticated
Each piece is examined for period, alloy, and maker. Nothing is listed until its provenance is documented.
03
Conserved
Gentle, reversible conservation preserves original patina — we restore condition, never character.
04
Delivered
White-glove logistics bring your piece home, crated and insured, with its dossier of authenticity.
In Good Company
Trusted by collectors, designers & tastemakers.

Finally, a source where the provenance is settled before I ever ask. Issha found me a candelabrum I'd been chasing for years.

Questions
Everything you might ask.
Yes. Issha Collective deals exclusively in original brass antiques — no reproductions and no reissues. When a piece sells, it is gone.
Each item is assessed for period, alloy composition, maker's marks, and provenance. It only reaches the collection once that history is documented, and the dossier travels with the piece.
We do. Our trade programme includes preferential pricing, priority access to new arrivals, provenance dossiers, and a dedicated sourcing advisor for larger projects.
Pieces are crated, insured, and delivered white-glove within a typical 3–7 day window. International shipping is arranged case by case.
Absolutely. Founding members and trade partners can commission bespoke sourcing — tell us the object, era, or aesthetic and our scouts go looking.
During our founding chapter, access is by request and free to join the waitlist. Early members receive first look at every new acquisition.
