Welcome to Retro Farm

I’m truly passionate about antique treasures — each one carefully sourced from private individuals, discovered through word of mouth, or unearthed in forgotten barns filled with hidden gems. I love uncovering the soul behind every find — the silent stories each piece still whispers.

Every object I select is unique, full of charm and history, ready to bring an authentic and poetic touch to your home. In the world of Retro Farm, vintage is more than a style — it’s a memory brought back to life.

 

A Rosary Steeped in Devotion

This antique rosary necklace, dating from 1880–1900, once belonged to a monk and served as a silent witness to countless prayers and meditations. Crafted with 70 hand-turned wooden beads and a large crucifix, it was traditionally worn on the belt — a sacred companion in daily spiritual life.

The wood has been worn smooth by time, its patina a testament to faith and devotion. Despite its age, the rosary remains in excellent condition, with no broken parts. A recycled and natural object, it carries a quiet serenity and authenticity that makes it ideal for:

  • Spiritual interiors

  • Rustic or monastic decor
