The Christian Du Pont Collection, renown for its unique and exquisite beauty, is located in the heart of Palm Beach. The 6,000 square foot showroom exhibits some of the world’s finest French antiques. Through a labyrinth of jewel-toned rooms, wafting with the nectar of roses and madrigal music, one enters 18th century France.

The Du Pont legacy began in Le Touquet, France in 1965 where Christian Du Pont launched his first antique shop–an immediate success. Four years later, Christian and Virginia married and opened a second shop in Lille, the largest city north of Paris. The couples’ personal style, love for beautiful things and knowledge of fine antiques quickly earned them an excellent reputation.
Several more shops soon followed

In 1979 Christian and Virginia, with their two young children in-tow, visited Florida and fell in love with Palm Beach. Three years later, they achieved their dream and opened their first showroom in the United States on their beloved Island. The refined, European elegance of the internationally
acclaimed showroom displays their collection with exceptional grace and style.

Traveling several times a year, the Du Ponts discriminately purchase antiques from private collections both in Europe and the United States. This eliminates intermediaries and permits them to offer antiques at a reasonable price. Each antique is refinished utilizing the old European method of restoration.

This site represents only a portion of the Collection. Christian and Virginia extend a warm invitation to all who admire antiques and precious works of art to visit the showroom.
