For more than 30 years, Shane Brown’s Big Daddy’s Antiques has been a destination for designers, collectors, and tastemakers seeking distinctive antiques, custom furniture, and garden décor. This fall, a new collection with Pottery Barn brings Brown’s expertise to a wider audience outside of his Santa Barbara store’s locale.
Inspired by Big Daddy’s Antiques’ signature ability to source pieces with history, scale, and soul, the new home furnishings collection features furniture, lighting, decorative accessories, and entertaining pieces designed to feel collected over time. Each piece reflects Pottery Barn’s commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design while capturing the warmth, patina, and individuality that have made Big Daddy’s Antiques a beloved resource for years.
“Our customers are looking for pieces that make their homes feel personal, layered, and distinctly their own,” said Jennifer Kellor, President, Pottery Barn. “Shane Brown has spent decades cultivating an extraordinary point of view rooted in history, craftsmanship, and authenticity. Together, we have created a collection that translates Shane’s signature design perspective into pieces that feel collected over time.”
Drawing inspiration from antiques markets, architectural salvage yards, and vintage stores with historical craftsmanship, the collection reinterprets antique silhouettes for today’s home. The assortment includes a dining table, dining chairs, buffet, console, coffee table, dresser, nightstand, leather-upholstered bed and coordinating bench, alongside vintage-inspired lighting with milk glass details, an aged brass wine bucket, cheese serving pieces, gilt picture frames, and sculptural stone decorative objects. Rich wood finishes, natural textures, and layered materials evoke the warmth, character, and authenticity of a home thoughtfully collected over time.
“My work often begins with discovery — finding a piece in a European market and considering the history it carries, and the stories reflected in every detail,” says Brown. “Working with Pottery Barn offered an opportunity to bring that same appreciation for heritage, craftsmanship, and character into more homes.”
