Our Story

BK Antiques & Home began with Barbara Kirshbaum’s lifelong passion for discovering exceptional European treasures. What started in antique markets across France, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands, has grown into a globally curated collection that includes contemporary finds from small artists and artisans, as well as a line of our own BK Limited designs. With over 150 buying trips to date across Europe, the BK team personally selects every piece for its quality, character, and story. 

What Makes BK Unique

  • Curated Mix of Old and New 

    BK blends centuries-old European antiques with contemporary design pieces, creating timeless interiors that feel collected, not decorated.

  • Sticklers for Quality 

    Every item—whether vintage or newly crafted—is vetted for pristine condition. We take great pains to get it right so you don’t have to. 

  • One-of-a-kind Treasures 

    From 18th-century French chests of drawers to sculptural accessories, each piece is hand-selected for its uniqueness and character you won’t find anywhere else. 

  • Depth of Inventory 

    With an ever-evolving and robust collection, BK ensures designers have access to a range of options and hard-to-find statement pieces. 

  • One-stop Shop 

    Furniture, lighting, accessories, and custom BK Limited designs—all under one roof—make sourcing seamless and efficient. 

  • Problem-solving Partner 

    Barbara and her team are hands-on collaborators who anticipate needs, source alternatives, and adapt to help bring your vision to life.
