Since the F.O.R inception in 2017, Anne & Tamara have forged networks in France and Italy that provide incredible access to antiques from estates, dealers and fairs.

This is a passion, the antique buying tours are pure joy and discovery; of people, places, experiences, food, fashion, and of course antiques!

Now Founders of Rome has evolved to a unique concept business; bringing antiques to New Zealand, and taking New Zealanders to the antiques!

We have been asked over the years to take clients with us, and now we welcome you with open arms into our captivating world!

We have designed beautiful experiences that will appeal to all ages and stages, from solo to group, whether sourcing a full house lot of unique pieces to just enjoying the 'browse' and culture along the way.

Keeping the groups small mean we are agile, follow the fun and get into places that are hard to with a larger group.

From boutique and authentic accomodation, artisan experiences, luxury transport, culinary delights (from the finer experiences to a rustic sunset table), we make it our mission to give you an unforgettable journey. 

We cant wait to travel with you in 2025!
