Echoes of the Past, Beauty for the Present: Vintage Wall Art for Your Home

Echoes of the Past, Beauty for the Present: Vintage Wall Art for Your Home

 Explore how vintage artworks can breathe life and personality into your living spaces.

There is a place for bare walls. It’s a story untold. While minimalist walls have their place, too much emptiness can make a space feel cold and disconnected. 

Your home should tell a story—your story.

And bare walls are the blank canvas to do just that. With the help of vintage wall art, of course.

Antique art has a special charm. It adds character and depth to your home; each piece, a unique window into the past.

Vintage art brings a sense of timeless beauty that new pieces often lack.

From Romantic landscapes to bold abstract expressionist paintings, we're here to help make vintage art work for your space.

Why Choose Vintage Wall Art?

Vintage decor art offers a unique aesthetic and soul you simply can't find with mass-produced pieces.

It enables you to design a truly personal space, reflecting your taste and enjoyments.

Here's why we love vintage paintings for home decor:

Uniqueness

You won't find these pieces anywhere else. Antique wall decor, especially at Provenance Studio, offers one-of-a-kind charm — we don't sell prints or copies. These are all original pieces.

We travel the world to find these hidden gems — antique art that might otherwise be forgotten.

Character

Vintage European art adds a sense of history and sophistication to your home. These pieces have witnessed changing tides and cultural shifts, lending a timeless quality to your decor.

Each brushstroke and imperfection tells a story, making your space special.

To add another layer of character, we do as much research as possible about each piece and the artist.

Soul

Imagine a beautiful watercolor, perhaps a little faded with time, depicting a bustling Italian marketplace.

This piece is a window into another time and place and a connection to the artist.

It invites you to imagine that era's sights, sounds, and smells, adding a layer of richness to your home that new art simply can't replicate.

Conversation

The uniqueness of antique art is a natural conversation starter. Guests will be drawn to its charm and inquire about its origins.

Finding the Perfect Pieces





We specialize in
vintage wall art. We search for "living objects," art with a past, each with its own story to tell.

Our curated collection features several styles, from classic portraits to abstracts. Whether you're drawn to the soft hues of Impressionism or the bold lines of Art Deco, we have something to suit every taste.

We know antique art can sometimes feel overwhelming, but we're here to help.

We provide detailed information about each piece, including the artist (if known), the period, the materials used, and its condition.

For example:

  • You might come across terms like "impasto," a technique where paint is applied thickly to create texture.
  • Or you might see "laid paper," a type of paper with visible lines created during its production.

We explain these terms to make your experience enjoyable and informative.

Many of our pieces are "rescued" – they may have watermarks, small tears, or other signs of age. But these imperfections add to their character.

We carefully clean and restore each piece, ensuring it's ready to be displayed and cherished in your home.

The Art of the Gallery Wall

Creating a vintage art wall is a delightful and personal journey. It's about finding pieces that resonate with you, speak to your soul, and spark joy.

Here are a few tips to get you started.

  • Mix and match. Don't be afraid to combine different styles and eras. A gallery wall featuring a variety of vintage paintings for home decor can create a dynamic and eclectic look.
  • Consider the context. Think about the room's overall style and choose pieces that complement it. A rustic farmhouse kitchen might be perfect for vintage botanical prints, while a modern living room could benefit from an abstract expressionist painting.
  • Find a theme. Consider a unifying element, such as a color palette, subject matter (like line drawings or portraits), or art historical period.
  • Framing matters. Choose frames that complement the artwork without overpowering it. Simple, classic frames often work best for vintage wall art. However, fashionable frames can add a modern feel to the wall.
  • Plan it out.  Before hanging your artwork, arrange the pieces on the floor to experiment with different layouts to see how they look together.
