A Coastal Life, Curated

One-of-one finds for the bar cart, the bookshelf, and everywhere salt air meets old-world charm.

We keep a small shop on Pine Avenue, at the quiet end of a seven mile island.

The sign says interiors, art and collected pieces, and the sign is honest: one of a kind paintings, nautical decor with a past, and furnishings that only exist once.

Every piece in here was chosen by hand, one at a time. Ask about any of them. Telling the stories is the best part of the job.

505 Pine Avenue · the greenest little main street in America

Inside the shop: a charcoal portrait of a pipe-smoking sea captain on a painter's easel, a brass vase of paintbrushes and framed pictures on the artist's cart beside it

The island, painted from memory

A rotating wall of one-of-one paintings: the piers, the birds, the light. When one leaves for a new house, we hang another.

Our Story

Every fishing town tells the same story

From the docks of Cortez to the coast of the Mediterranean, fishing towns share a language — weathered wood, brass hardware, linen worn soft by salt air. The Gilded Fisherman was built on the idea that these places, however far apart, are really telling the same old-world story.

Each piece in the boutique is chosen the way you’d bring something home from a trip: because it has a place, and because it has a past. Hemingway’s Key West, a Bahamian beach house, an island bar cart — different coasts, one shared sense of how a room should feel.

“Old-world living, just off whatever coast you happen to be standing on.”
