Authenticity at the Heart of Every Piece
True antiques with stories to tell — nothing replicated, nothing mass-made.
At Relics by Darine Hanna, we don’t imitate; we preserve and transform. Every piece you see is an original: discovered, revived, and redesigned with care. We believe in honoring the past while giving it a place in today’s interiors.
Our Promise: Authenticity in Every Detail
Authentic antique furniture only — no replicas
We source genuine antiques, each with decades (sometimes centuries) of history behind it.
Each piece is carefully chosen not just for its age, but for its character — the richness of its wood, the detail of its carvings, the way it tells a story through its form and patina. We believe the soul of a space is built on these quiet, enduring elements — objects with meaning, history, and presence.
Every antique we work with is more than just a piece of furniture — it’s a silent witness to time.
The curve of a handle, a worn edge, a hand-carved motif… these aren’t flaws; they’re traces of memory.
We embrace these imperfections because they’re proof of authenticity. They tell us who might have owned the piece, how it was used, and what kind of world it came from. Rather than erasing these signs, we let them live on — because this character can’t be manufactured, only preserved and honored.
Restoration is where respect meets craftsmanship. At Relics by Darine Hanna, we approach every repair with intention, working slowly, attentively, and always with the soul of the piece in mind.
Our goal is not to make the furniture look “new,” but to give it strength for the years ahead. We stabilize structures, rejoin what’s come loose, and carefully revive surfaces, always choosing methods that honor the original materials and techniques. It’s a quiet dialogue between the past and present, guided by a deep respect for the object’s original life.
Enhanced with modern touches, without erasing history
We believe in evolution, not erasure. While each piece we restore is rooted in the past, we thoughtfully introduce modern touches to help it live beautifully in today’s interiors.
The goal is never to overpower the original, but to create a balanced dialogue between what was and what can be. The result is timeless furniture with a renewed purpose.
At the heart of our work is a balance between tradition and simplicity.
We honor the fine details — the curves, the carvings, the joinery — while refining the overall form to feel lighter, clearer, more in tune with contemporary spaces.
The result is furniture that feels both storied and current. A piece that stands confidently in a minimalist room or alongside modern art, yet still carries the depth of history in every inch. It’s this quiet tension — between classical craftsmanship and clean design — that defines the Relics by Darine Hanna aesthetic.
