My Philosophy
As William Morris once said, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
I’ve adopted that philosophy both in my own home and in the pieces I choose for Spot of Vintage. I love surrounding myself with items that bring beauty, character, and a sense of history to a space. Every piece I select is chosen with that same intention, so you can create a home that feels personal, thoughtful, and collected over time.
The items I offer are vintage or antique because I value the craftsmanship, artistry, and individuality that are often harder to find today. I take pride in thoroughly researching each piece and sharing meaningful details in my descriptions, so you can shop with greater confidence and appreciation for the item’s story.
About Me
Suzette Percival - Founder and Curator
Growing up in New York City, I often visited museums and galleries and developed an appreciation for artists and decorative arts from different periods. My father, who was a New York journalist, helped shape my interest in the past through his own experiences living in the early to mid-20th century. My mother, who was French, also gave me a strong appreciation for the beauty of French culture and its artisans.
I was also fortunate to serve as the Marketing Director for Rookwood Pottery, a company founded in 1880 that won the Grand Prix at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. My time there gave me a deeper appreciation for ceramic artistry, craftsmanship, and the creative process behind meaningful objects. That experience continues to influence how I source and present pieces for Spot of Vintage.
