This is Aesthete

Rooted in the profound appreciation for artistry and nature…

Aesthete is a curation of timeless artifacts that embody the spirit of slow living and old-world charm. We have an adoration for imperfection and objects that are unique in every sense of their character and patina. 

Perfectly imperfect, creating spaces with soul.

Our Purpose

Authenticity, and Adoration for Artisans,

Authenticity: Bringing authentic, one-of-a-kind objects into homes that have lived decades before us, whispering tales of heritage and tradition. 

Adoration for Artisans: Sourcing objects hand-crafted by traditional artisans, through antique and vintage merchants across the Mediterranean and Middle East.

Our Founder

James Maley-Craig

Aesthete was founded by James Maley-Craig. His story started with a love for artisan craft and nature, and as years passed the objects he desired for his home brought a deep connection between soul and surrounding.

Living in a metropolis he curated a space of objects from around the world, which provided a serenity and a want to slow down. Aesthete is ‘an ode to art and nature’ in our eyes and one he wanted to share with you. Thank you for adoring these timeless artifacts.
