Grüezi, Servus and Hello!
We’re Sylvia and Martin – two curious souls with a love for the unusual, the beautiful, and anything with a story to tell.
What began as a shared hobby – rummaging through brocantes, flea markets and dusty antique shops – slowly grew into a passion project. We love discovering pieces that others might pass by: items full of charm, character, and just a touch of mystery.
Brocante Lake Zürich
We’re a German–New Zealand couple, and our journey has taken us around the globe – from London to New Zealand to Germany – and finally to the peaceful shores of Lake Zürich, the place we now proudly call home.
The word Brocante speaks to us both:
For Sylvia, it brings back childhood memories of family outings and little discoveries.
For Martin, it’s London – and if you know London’s vintage scene, you’ll understand exactly what that means.
Brocante Lake Zürich brings these worlds together – our shared love for timeless objects and the quiet inspiration of the place we’ve chosen to live.
What we offer
In our online collection, we share our favourite finds with you:
- Antiques full of character
- Vintage décor and curiosities that spark joy
- Objects with stories that add soul to modern spaces
Some we restore gently, others we leave exactly as they are – beautifully aged and perfectly imperfect.
We believe in quality, craftsmanship, and the magic of one-of-a-kind pieces. Mass production? Not our thing.
Whether you're searching for a rare statement piece or a small treasure – we hope you'll find something special for your home, your style, and your budget.
