Founded in 1998 by Susan and Wolfgang Hofherr, Authentic Provence is a West Palm Beach destination for monumental European antiques. The owners personally select each piece for its authenticity, craftsmanship, and distinctiveness. The collection is a testament to their passion for items that imbue a space with history and artistry.
The company's extensive collection has been curated over decades, offering items that are hallmarks of French and Italian culture. These treasures include hand-carved, 18th-century limestone fountains, statuary, and antique flooring for both indoor and outdoor use. With longstanding relationships with dealers across Europe, the company specializes in custom searches for its clients.
Operating from a 45,000 square foot enterprise, Authentic Provence ships worldwide to a global clientele of collectors and architectural design firms. The founders' expertise, developed over 45 years in the antique business, allows them to collaborate with renowned European stone sculptors on custom and restoration projects. This ensures a high level of quality.
In 2015, the company expanded its offerings by opening AP Mid Century Modern. This separate gallery features a collection of French, Italian, and Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern furniture from acclaimed designers, broadening the company's stylistic range beyond classical antiques.
