Aidan has worked in the antiques trade for more than fifteen years, drawing on his background in the restoration of historic buildings, including significant projects within the Royal Estate. This experience has shaped a deep appreciation for proportion, craftsmanship and the quiet beauty that objects acquire over time. Architectural form, originality and patina are the common threads that run through his collections.
He founded Interior Motive to expand his work with private clients, sourcing and supplying antiques and decorative pieces from across the United Kingdom and Europe. He works with collectors, interior designers and the trade, selecting objects that balance design integrity with decorative appeal.
Now based in South West London, Aidan continues to travel widely in search of distinctive pieces spanning the sixteenth to twentieth centuries, from vernacular furniture to mid-century design, united by a layered country house aesthetic and an enduring sense of history.
