About Megan

Megan Dorsey is an antique dealer and collector driven by a love of objects that hold memory and meaning. From her travels, she sources and sells rare finds, and from her ever-growing collection came something more personal: a line of stationery featuring photographs of Black Americans from the Victorian era through the 1960s, a quiet act of reclamation for a Black woman who loves antiques and has too rarely seen herself in them.

She has been featured in Architectural Digest, as a panelist at the Winterthur Museum’s “Fresh Perspectives” symposium, and in Milwaukee Magazine. She has collaborated with brands including and Esterbrook Pens, The Dubbel Dutch Hotel and Doen, and was highlighted as a dealer and collector in BLK MKT Vintage: Reclaiming Objects and Curiosities that Tell Black Stories, a celebration of Black collectors, curators, and artists published by Janna Handy and Kianna Stewart, owners of the beloved New York vintage shop BLK MKT Vintage.

When she’s not hunting for her next find, she can be found journaling, writing letters, and adding to her ever-growing collection of fountain pens.
