Digital antiquarians, our expertise to your service
We are antique dealers, but in the digital world. Passionate about art, passionate about jewelry, we want to highlight the knowledge of old French jewelers. We find and propose jewelry to wear every day, jewelry that lives with you. We are not specialized in high jewelry but everyday jewelry: we want your jewels to accompany you in your daily routine, not kept in a safe.
These jewels have had other lives before you and we want that to continue, with you.
Who are we ?
At the beginning, two gemmologist apprentices who met in an auction house. The years have passed, the experience and skills have grown and so has the desire to join forces and make antique jewelry known to those around us.
We have different but complementary backgrounds, in galleries, in auction houses, as entrepreneurs. We have created Maison Mohs in order to offer you a selection of antique and second hand jewelry to wear easily. Let’s open the drawers!
Angéline Chanson
