This is Sullivan Mercantile

We craft everyday elegance.

When so many items in a home will be in service for years and for decades, why should they be mundane?

We craft  home décor that is carefully conceived and thoughtfully designed. And built with skill to ensure that our décor lasts not just decades, but a lifetime.

That's because at Sullivan Mercantile, we believe in the elegant home. Not the expensive home, but the elegant home.

Sullivan Mercantile sits within a family of artists that spans time. And that line ends with the home artist, for whom the home is the canvas.

Take, for example, our Sullivan Loire Linen Tablecloth.

A Loire Valley tisserand wove a beautiful arboreal tapestry in bold primaries and gold in the fifteenth century, the design of which was later discovered by a Moldovan textile artist who built her arboreal interpretation into a relaxed, heavy-weight jacquard linen.
 
Our merchant tailor discovered her jacquard linen and brought it to us where we built a tablecloth that gently evokes a place and time at which the table was revered.
 
Which is now discovered by an home artist, the artist for whom the home is his canvas, who drops the Sullivan Loire Linen Tablecloth on to his table where it brings pleasure.
 
And where it will bring pleasure for years and years to come.
 

This is what we call everyday elegance: home décor carefully conceived, thoughtfully designed, and built with skill to bring pleasure for a lifetime.
