Meet Ariane

Ariane's story is one of heritage, passion, and global elegance. Raised in Argentina amid a family celebrated for their keen eye for design, she draws inspiration from her elegant English grandmother and her mother, a renowned interior designer.

After a decade of shaping Buenos Aires homes, Ariane brought her rich design legacy to Middleburg, VA, where she now blends diverse cultural elements at The Paradise Antiques. Here, Ariane's creations are a testament to her journey, offering a unique window into a world where every piece tells a story.

Beautiful shop and excellent customer service. I was disappointed that the forks I was excited to buy to add to mine were not available but still on line. The pillows I purchased are perfect.

Christy, thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you love the pillows and we sincerely apologize about the forks being out of stock, there was an error with the website.Come back anytime!

Amazing place. Must see.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed The Paradise Antiques. Hope to see you again soon!

Just visiting Paradise Antiques is a lovely experience in itself. our visit began with a long beautiful driveway that circled a lily pad pond that looked like a painting. That, and the beautiful buildings are quintessential Virginia. So- even before you go in to view the beautifully collected antique pieces, you are already charmed by the settings. Loved every piece I saw- and can't wait for my selected piece to arrive at my home. Cannot wait toreturn to this idyllic shop!

Hi Carol, thank you so much for your wonderful words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your visit and look forward to your new piece arriving. Hope to see you again soon at The Paradise Antiques!

Beautiful store with beautiful pieces.

The Paradise is a hidden gem with a gorgeous selection of antiques. I’ve been a customer for five years, and Ariane’s talent, passion, and knowledge of each item’s provenance never cease to impress me. It is always a treat to visit The Paradise!

I am so so so happy that you carry Pluie de Bergamotes!!! Cannot find it anywhere else in the U.S. Hope to visit your shop one day! Thank you to Gina for all her help!

Liza, thank you so much for your kind review! So glad you found our website - I believe we are the only U.S. store that carries La Petite Madeleine. We would love to have you visit one day!

The most beautiful shop in Middleburg. Stunning antiques, and incredible eye for detail, and a truly lovely shopping experience. Simply world class.

Gorgeous selection of antiques and well priced. The Google map directions were wrong though. Here is the correct directions: from Zulla Road, Turn onto Hickory Tree Lane, then take the first right turn through the gates and follow the driveway past the house to the shop on the right. When we have the opportunity, we always tell people to put the Middleburg Tennis Club in their GPS and we are right behind it.

I love all of the French Antiques, and the fun gift ideas like the trays and placemats.

Always so pleasant and welcoming! Certainly an experience that takes antiquing to the next level

What a fantastic shop with beautiful and rare finds. The owner has an amazing eye and great taste! Also offers interior design to make your home look like something out of a magazine! Highly recommend a visit to the shop and a consultation for those who feel their home / or just room in home needs a facelift.

I discovered this shop and was truly amazed by the selection of antiques, great artwork, and the place is gorgeous! Worth the visit
