Show Pony Interiors
A curated trove of the rare, the storied and the beautifully unexpected.
Eighteenth-century forms beside mid-century icons; contemporary sculpture offset by tribal artefacts. Every piece is chosen not simply for its form, but for its soul — and its place in the layered, expressive interiors that no two rooms should ever share.
The Collection
A rotating selection of recent acquisitions. Each piece is one of a kind — enquire for price, provenance and dimensions.
New arrivals land regularly — browse the full shop online, follow along on Instagram, or visit the gallery to see the collection in person.
An eye trained over fifty years
Show Pony Interiors is the vision of Mathew Matheou — a seasoned collector and curator with more than half a century immersed in antiques, fine art, restoration and interior design. A global traveller with a trained, artistic eye, Mathew has spent a lifetime sourcing exceptional objects that tell stories: pieces with provenance, originality, and the kind of patina only time can create.
From faded grandeur to sculptural modernism, each object is chosen not simply for its form, but for its soul. Whether it is a well-worn leather club chair, a surrealist oil, or a brutalist sideboard, every item in the collection carries a distinct identity — and a place in the layered, expressive interiors Mathew is known for.
“This is a destination for those who believe interiors should be lived in, not staged — and that beauty lies in the imperfect, the rare, and the unexpected.” Mathew Matheou, Founder
Restoration & Upholstery
Beyond the gallery, Show Pony keeps a working bench. Tired antiques are brought back to life — French polishing, timber and veneer repair, structural work — and seating is stripped to the frame and rebuilt the old way, with hand-tied springs, hessian and horsehair.
Fifty years of a restorer's eye and twenty-five of a master upholsterer's hand — two generations holding a vanishing trade steady, from the recovery of a family heirloom to a bespoke lounge made from scratch.
