About me
My name is Evgeniia Falkova. For more than 12 years I have worked with antiques, porcelain and historic objects, exploring the stories, craftsmanship and cultural worlds behind them and helping others discover the worlds they reveal.
Before focusing on antiques, porcelain and material culture, I built a career in international communications and public affairs, holding senior leadership positions in multinational organisations and teaching at university level. I hold a PhD and have developed educational programs throughout my career.
Today, I bring together these two worlds: a deep knowledge of antiques, porcelain and collecting culture, and extensive experience in education, communication and public engagement.
