Our Process
1. The Vernissage (Preview)
Before releasing a volume, we will give you time to explore our latest finds, so you can bookmark your favourites and be ready to pounce before release day.
2. Volume Drop - Cabinet Unlocked
The Cabinet is unlocked for a fleeting time. Inside, you’ll find our latest volume of rare and refined pieces. These pieces don’t linger; they’re one-of-one, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. The ones that catch your eye rarely wait.
3. Shipping To Your Door
From Bobo’s cabinet to your home, each piece is packed with great care, ready to be part of a new space and story.
On Age & Origin
We celebrate pieces from every chapter of design history - each with its own rhythm of time.
In our collection, antiques are those crafted over a century ago, shaped by the hands and materials of their era, carrying the grace of true age and provenance.
Vintage pieces, by contrast, are those generally between thirty and one hundred years old, reflecting the evolving tastes, techniques, and spirit of their period.
Both are cherished for their authenticity, patina, and the quiet individuality that only time can create. Together, they form a living archive - objects with soul, made to be loved anew.
Collector's Condition Scale
Our Collector’s Condition Scale is a simple guide to help you understand each piece’s unique journey and state of preservation.
Every item we offer has lived a life before yours - and that story is written into its surface, its patina, and its presence.
Much like fruit on a tree, each matures differently. Some age evenly, some soften in places, each carrying its own beauty and character.
In order from the more loved to the less lived-in:
Well-Loved Condition
Pieces with visible signs of age and character. Marks, wear or fading that tell their story and form part of their charm. For those who love the poetry of timeworn beauty.
Lovely Condition
Gently aged with minor imperfections consistent with age and use. Retains full structural integrity and grace - a beautiful balance between preservation and patina.
Excellent Condition
Exceptionally preserved with minimal signs of wear. Surfaces remain clean and strong, showing only the faintest trace of history.
While the Cabinet is Locked...
When is the next sale?
Bobo unveils each volume when the Cabinet is unlocked and when a volume feels complete. Collections appear for a short time, then close again - fleeting, and never permanent. To stay in the know, sign up to our mailing list to be notified when the next volume drops, and follow us on Instagram. Each volume tells its own story - the joy is in discovering it first.
What are you doing in between Volume drops?
Each volume begins with the search. Our pieces are sourced through long-standing relationships with collectors and makers around the world to uncover objects of beauty, integrity and character. From there, every detail is considered - restored and reupholstered in-house - before finding its place within the Cabinet. The result is a considered collection that feels both timeless and alive.
Can I pre-purchase before a sale goes live?
Bobo is dedicated to an equal experience for all collectors. We don’t offer pre-sales, every piece becomes available to all when the Cabinet is unlocked. We suggest making sure you are signed up to our mailing list to be the first to hear about the Vernissage (Preview) and subsequent drop date. Therefore, you’ll be ready to act when the Cabinet opens.
