Gévaudan is a luxury home décor destination located at 11 East Shore Road in New Preston, Connecticut, along the eastern shore of Lake Waramaug in Litchfield County. The shop specializes in antique and contemporary furnishings, textiles, artisan lighting, apothecary goods, books, art, candles, and rare finds. It exists both as a physical shop in New Preston and as an online store at maisongevaudan.com, with both experiences reflecting the same careful curatorial eye.
Every piece in the shop is personally chosen by Angelica VonDrak, the founder and curator of Gévaudan. There is no outside buyer, no wholesale catalogue, and no trend report involved in the selection process. Angelica sources continuously through long-cultivated relationships with dealers, estate collections, antique markets, and independent makers who share her standards, ensuring that everything at Gévaudan has genuinely earned its place.
The collection spans furniture, lighting, decorative objects, art, mirrors, textiles, kitchen and dining wares, candles, apothecary goods, books, apparel, and gifts. The inventory draws from antiques alongside carefully chosen contemporary pieces, all selected for their craftsmanship, history, and quiet beauty. New items are added every week, so there is always something new to discover, both in the shop and online.
Large furniture pieces are only available in-store at the New Preston location. The online shop at gevaudan carries the full range of smaller décor, textiles, lighting, art, candles, apothecary, kitchen and dining pieces, and other curated objects. Customers who are looking for statement furniture are encouraged to visit the physical shop at 11 East Shore Road in New Preston, Connecticut.
Yes. The collection is available online at maisongevaudan.com, with shipping available worldwide. New items are added weekly, free shipping is offered on all orders over $200 shipping within the US, and new subscribers receive 10% off their first order. The online shop reflects the same curatorial sensibility as the physical store, with detailed descriptions and thoughtfully presented pieces.
Gévaudan offers three distinct design services. The first is a Styling and Space Refresh, which reworks layouts and elevates a room through textiles, lighting, and curated objects, a service also well-suited for real estate staging. The second is a Sourcing and Curated Acquisition service, focused on finding specific antiques, furnishings, art, and decorative pieces through an established network of suppliers, estate sources, and private collections. The third is a Full Concept Design service, a deeper partnership that covers colour direction, furnishings, textiles, décor, and layout for an entire home or suite of rooms.

Angelica VonDrak sources every piece personally, through long-cultivated relationships with antique dealers, estate sales, markets, and independent makers and artisans. The focus is always on objects that carry genuine history, craftsmanship, and a quality of quiet beauty. Nothing is stocked because it follows a trend; everything is chosen because it has something worth keeping.

Gévaudan accepts a wide range of payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, and Bancontact. All transactions are processed securely through the Shopify platform.

New items are added to the collection every week, both in the physical New Preston shop and online at maisongevaudan. This continuous sourcing means the inventory is never static; there is always something new and unexpected to discover. Customers are encouraged to subscribe to the newsletter to be the first to know about new arrivals and exclusive offerings.

Gévaudan is built on the belief that the objects you choose to live with matter, not as seasonal statements, but as things that shape how a home feels over time. The collection is guided by a philosophy of buying less and choosing better, with a focus on pieces made to last, selected with intention, and worthy of a long life in your home. Every object at Gévaudan is chosen because it carries history, craftsmanship, and a quality of quiet beauty, the kind that reveals itself slowly and holds up over years of daily life.
