The Lumini Collection: Celebrating Mid-Century Design Excellence
Lumini's collection is a considered tribute to mid-century artistry and craftsmanship. Our curated showroom and online shop give consignors a professional platform to present vintage furniture and decor.

Our Curated Showroom Philosophy
We design the showroom experience around discovery and context: pieces are grouped by era, material and maker to help shoppers and interior designers understand each item's place in design history. Our team champions both celebrated names and lesser-known makers, favouring solid condition and authentic finishes.
By staging items thoughtfully and rotating inventory on a regular schedule, we keep the collection fresh and appealing to repeat visitors.
For consignors, that means your items are presented with intent and accurate labelling.
Provenance notes and professional staging.
Buyers see the value and story behind each piece. If you'd like to consign, the first step is to send photos and provenance details for a preliminary review.

The Artistry and Craftsmanship We Value
At Lumini we prioritise pieces that showcase mid-century design techniques and materials.
We also actively seek mid century Italian works and distinctive accessories that demonstrate exceptional design or construction.
Condition assessments focus on originality and repair history; where restoration is appropriate, we advise on best-practice options to protect market value.
As experienced vintage curators and operators of consignment stores, we aim to present each piece with clarity about its condition, rarity and likely market appeal.
Our goal is to help consignors maximise value while preserving the integrity of the products they entrust to us.

The Selection and Evaluation Process
First step: submit clear photos and any provenance or maker details via our online form or by email. Our team of experienced curators undertakes a preliminary review and, where appropriate, invites items for an in-person appraisal.
We evaluate each piece for condition, authenticity, rarity and likely market appeal. Condition assessments include original finishes, repairs or restorations and structural soundness, factors that directly affect market value and pricing.
Where restoration would meaningfully increase value, we discuss options and estimated costs with consignors; in other cases we recommend selling as-is to preserve originality.
Our Marketing and Presentation Approach
Presentation matters online and in-store. We use professional photography, detailed descriptions and provenance notes to highlight each item's design features, materials and condition.
Our online shop and social media channels are used strategically to reach vintage dealers, collectors and design-savvy buyers.
We also run targeted advertising and email campaigns to showcase new consignments and high-value pieces.
Commission Structure and Payment Terms
We operate a transparent commission model designed to align our incentives with consignors' outcomes. Commission covers marketing and sales handling; any platform fees or agreed restoration costs are communicated up-front. If you need a sample breakdown during the first step, we can provide an indicative split tailored to the item and sale channel.
Payments are issued promptly after settlement of a sale typically within an agreed time frame and we provide clear statements showing the sale price, deductions and consignor payout. Our goal is a smooth, trustworthy process so sellers can focus on preparing items while we manage marketing, negotiations and logistics.
Benefits for Collectors and Vintage Resellers
At Lumini Collections, we help collectors and vintage resellers present their treasures to the right audience. Our curated showroom and online shop bring together iconic mid-century pieces: from seating and sideboards to lighting and textiles, so your items are seen by buyers who value provenance, condition and design history.
Access to Lumini's Discerning Clientele
Consigning with Lumini opens doors to a vetted network of collectors, interior designers and vintage dealers who regularly buy for private projects and commercial commissions.
Because we position items with clear provenance and professional staging, your pieces reach shoppers who are prepared to pay for rarity and quality, improving the likely market value and sale outcome.
If applicable, we can share anonymised metrics on average time to sale and buyer regions to help consignors understand where their items are most likely to attract interest.
Professional Photography and Storytelling
Great presentation drives higher prices. We use professional photography, accurate condition notes and well-crafted storytelling to communicate each item's materials, maker and history. Clear photos and compelling descriptions help replicate the in-store experience online, allowing buyers to assess scale, finish and authenticity before they enquire.
This approach benefits sellers: better imagery and information tends to reduce negotiation time and supports stronger offers compared with listings that lack provenance or professional presentation.
