The collection, in real time.
Live on Instagram
Most of what I bring back from England and Europe never makes it to the website first.
It goes live.
Once a week, I open the doors to whatever just arrived, turn on the camera, and walk through it all in real time. Every piece gets picked up, turned around, talked about. Where I found it. What era it belongs to. What makes it worth keeping.
I tell you what I love about it, and I tell you the truth about it.
It is, honestly, the closest thing to being in the room with me while I unpack a shipment. And that is exactly what it was designed to be.
Think of it less like shopping and more like hanging out with a friend who happens to have a shipping container full of 200-year-old European antiques in her warehouse. Because that is genuinely what this is.
We talk history. We talk patina. We talk about why a certain oil painting has been staring at me from across the room for three days. Sometimes we go on tangents. Sometimes I say things about a piece that my team has to remind me are not technically a selling point. It is not scripted and it is not polished, and that is the whole point.
Some people come every single week. Some come just to learn. Some come for the commentary. All of that is welcome here.
Come for the antiques. Stay for the conversation.
I go live on Instagram. You tap in when the broadcast starts.
If something catches your eye, drop a comment. That is how you claim it.
I will message you directly to confirm your details and send a Shopify invoice to your inbox and your DMs.
Pay through the secure link. Your piece ships directly to your door. That is the entire thing.
If you plan to come back (and most people do), creating a free AMD account saves your details so the next invoice is even simpler.

Follow @austynmariedesign →This is my first time. What do I do?
Honestly, the hardest part is just showing up the first time. After that, it clicks. Follow @austynmariedesign on Instagram, turn on notifications, and tap in when the broadcast starts. Watch, ask questions, get a feel for how it works. Most of my regulars spent their first live just watching — and now they never miss one.
How do I claim a piece?
When you see something you love, drop a comment in the live. I will send you a direct message to confirm your details, then a secure Shopify invoice goes to both your email and your DMs. Pay through the link, and your piece is on its way. If you want to make future purchases even faster, you can create a free AMD account so your information is already saved.
I missed the live. Is the piece gone?
Not necessarily. Pieces that are not claimed during the live sometimes appear on the website as a shop drop afterward. But the live is always the first look — if you want to see everything before anyone else, that is where to be. Turn on post notifications so the next one does not slip past you.
Are live sale purchases final?
They are, because every piece is one of a kind. But here is what I can promise: during the broadcast, I show you every detail up close. I talk through the condition, the history, the character — and I will answer any question you have before you commit. No surprises, ever.
Where do you ship?
Throughout the United States and to Canada. For Canadian orders, duties, taxes, and any additional fees are the responsibility of the buyer upon delivery. If you are somewhere else in the world, reach out — I am always happy to see what we can work out.
Can I combine shipping on multiple pieces?
Yes. If you claim more than one piece during a live, I will combine them into a single shipment whenever possible and adjust the shipping accordingly. Just let me know in the DMs after the sale.
Still have questions?
Send me a message on Instagram or get in touch here. I am a real person and I respond to everything.
The best way to understand it is to be there for one.
