Welcome to Backcountry Mercantile

A place where we meld vintage treasures with new, carefully curated, and sought-after ones. We believe that setting a table that not only looks elegant but also tells a story, is what becomes the foundation of a memorable celebration.

We hope you will be inspired by both our everyday and seasonal visions.

The Art of the Seasons

As spring unfolds, so do the moments that bring us together. This season, every table tells a story — of fresh blooms, laughter that drifts on the breeze, and hearts that gather in the glow of longer days. We believe that true elegance isn’t just seen, it’s felt in every shared moment around the table.

Handmade with Love

Hand-painted by artisans around the world, our collection celebrates the timeless beauty of crafted ceramics. From custom maiolica from Deruta, Italy, to faïence from Malicorne, France, each piece—from vintage finds to curated accoutrements—tells its own story.

A Personalized Gift

Through our bespoke service, your vision finds form in hand-painted ceramicware. Every piece is a shared creation — colors chosen together, details shaped with intention — each one a reflection of your story. Unique, heartfelt, and crafted with care.

Our Story

Our founder, Amanda Gaudelet, has been drawn to heirloom elements, such as glassware, cutlery, teacups, and linens, for as long as she can remember. Her passion for blending these vintage elements with those that are new is where her appreciation for setting a table was born. Vintage sourcing from Greenwich to Palm Beach to Pennsylvania and Paris, Amanda is always on the hunt for heirloom treasures. Wherever it is she finds herself, the hunt is on her mind. 

We hope you will be inspired by both our everyday and seasonal visions.
