About

Montpellier Collectors is a fresh concept in the curation, exhibition and sale of eclectic antiques, vintage collectibles and memorabilia pieces from the late 1800’s up to the present day, employing the idea of storytelling through items.

From industrial storage to country rustic, you’ll find different kinds of truly unique treasures, including vintage typewriters, medical tins, transistors, advertisements, porcelain, airline collectibles, toys, maps, posters, tobacciana, sports souvenirs, automobilia, small furniture, bistrot, polaroids and more. In addition, Montpellier Collectors specialises on refurbishing and refinishing old or uninspiring pieces to give them a new lease of life. All of the items are dissembled where applicable and thoroughly cleaned. Dependent on style, some pieces are preserved to show off their natural age, heritage and character.

A little preview of some of the process

Vassilis Spyrou

It is an ongoing project captured and created in March 2016 by Vassilis Spyrou, a freelance photographer and graduate of Renovation and Restoration of Buildings. Combining his knowledge and skills of interior design elements and principles along with his travelling experiences, as well as the fact he was always drawn to pop-culture collectibles, the idea of his latest venture sprung to mind while strolling around the flea markets in Southern France.

A passionate collector himself, regarding items related to photography and airlines memorabilia, he felt the urge to share his precious findings with those who wished to give a touch of vintage class in their living space. It wasn’t long before the first item was shipped to New York, a 70’s UTA French Airlines Carry-On travel bag and shortly after orders followed from more than 25 countries.
