When we walk through antique shops, we see pieces differently than most visitors. Sure, that Art Deco bracelet is stunning on its own—but how will it look catching light against a model's wrist? Will that Victorian corset complement the woman wearing it or compete for attention?
This is the dance we do with every piece we select for Sexy Antiques.
The Art of Pairing
Each jewelry piece, vintage clothing item, and prop gets chosen with a specific vision in mind. We're not just asking, "Is this beautiful?" We're asking, "Will this piece and our model enhance each other?" Because here's the thing—we never want the model to outshine the piece, and we never want the piece to disappear into the shot.
It's about creating harmony between sensuality and history. When we pair a 1940s slip with the right model in the right light, something magical happens. The passion for the piece meets passion itself, and suddenly you're seeing both the object and the artistry in an entirely new way.
Balancing Act
We're always thinking about variety too. Those smaller pieces—the jewelry, the delicate vintage lingerie—they're intimate and personal. But the larger furniture pieces? They transform our entire studio into a different era. A Victorian settee doesn't just get photographed; it becomes the stage for the entire story we're telling.
Yes, furniture makes shipping complicated (we're still working on that), but there's something about using an authentic 1920s vanity as more than just a backdrop—it becomes part of the narrative.
When Beauty Transcends Age
Sometimes we encounter pieces that make us stop in our tracks, even when they don't meet our strict vintage or antique criteria. A stunning piece from 20 years ago that perfectly complements a Depression-era lamp? We'll include it—but we'll always tell you exactly what it is and when it was made.
Authenticity matters to us, not just in our certificates but in how we represent every piece we sell.
The Bottom Line
Whether you're here to purchase a piece of history with a story, browse our unique collection, or simply appreciate the artistry of our photography—we want you to love what you discover. Every piece we choose reflects our belief that sensuality and beautiful objects belong together.
After all, passion for beautiful things is something worth celebrating, don't you think?
