Our story

Charme d'Antan means “charm from the past.” Our principals grew up in France, and their respect for the artisanat of their ancestors drives every buying trip through France and its neighbors, in search of the elegance and simple country craftsmanship that gives a modern home an historic, warm heart.

Alongside our antiques, we work with a network of French craftsmen to carve reproductions of fireplace surrounds, fountains and garden statuary, aged and patinated by hand so each model is unique.

Visit us between the beaches of Malibu and the valley of Calabasas, on one acre within the “Three Magical Miles,” in a landscape where stone and vegetation live together.

From France to your hearth

How a piece comes home

Limestone mantels weigh hundreds of pounds and fit to the inch. We guide you from the first measurement to the day it is set.

  1. Measure

    Send your firebox opening and wall width. We match it against every mantel on site.

  2. Preview

    Place pieces in a photo of your own room with the room planner.

  3. Reserve

    A written, signed order holds your piece while your project is prepared.

  4. Install

    We coordinate delivery and recommend licensed installers who know antique stone.

A note on our images
Our room and garden scenes are artistic renderings, created with digital tools to help you imagine each piece at home. Because of how these images are made, scale, proportions, color and small details may differ slightly from the actual stone. We are always happy to share exact measurements, original photos, or a visit to see each piece in person.
