Jane Z. Collection

Jane Z. – The Post-Modern Shop Exhibition at Antique Resources

Discover an unparalleled shopping experience for design enthusiasts.

Elizabeth Collins is the creative force behind Jane Z. – The Post-Modern Shop. She established a boutique that transforms traditional design through a postmodern lens.

Elizabeth’s keen eye led her to Antique Resources where she met the owner Maribel Weisz. Their shared love for antiques and innovative designs sparked an idea that quickly evolved into a remarkable collaboration.

Meet Jane Z.

Liz showcases her versatile Post-Modern Geometric Triangle Upholstered wood end tables, which double as chic ottomans! Adding a touch of timeless beauty, a delicate Floral Composition by Johan Laurentz Jensen (Danish, 1800-1856) graces the back wall, creating a perfect blend of modern functionality and classic artistry.
Liz Collins, a classical pianist turned enthusiast of postmodern furniture, whose passion and enthusiasm for bold pieces from the 1980s and 1990s shines through in every selection. Her exclusive online collection, available through Jane Z. – The Post-Modern Shop on Chairish features items that often challenge the conventions of traditional furniture design.

Antique Resources proudly presents Jane Z’s fabulous collection, now available to shop in person, featuring an array of sofas, chairs, tables, and accessories! For those seeking to infuse their interiors with a dynamic and thrilling spirit, these meticulously selected items, characterized by vivid colors, geometric shapes, and sculptural forms, are not to be missed!


Even more exciting is the idea of pairing Jane Z. – The Post Modern Shop pieces with those from Antique Resources. The contrast between these two collections offers a truly avant-garde experience. This fusion of disparate eras creates an aesthetic that is both daring and harmonious. For example, this vintage Maison Jansen coffee table is juxtaposed with a sculpted asymmetrical Weiman sofa and matching swivel chairs illuminated by a vintage baroque-style Aventurine Cristallo Murano chandelier. This collaboration not only brings together the opulence of the 19th century and the bold vibrancy of the late 20th century but also unites Liz and Maribel’s shared passion. “We are thrilled to combine our efforts and share this unique blend of styles with the Chicago community. We are excited to present this innovative fusion, celebrating the avant-garde interplay of these distinct historical periods.”


Dealing in Style!

Maribel and Liz brainstorm uses for the ensemble they have paired together—Liz’s Italian Beechwood and Walnut Triangular chairs with Maribel’s mesmerizing French Art Deco Tiger Maple and Macassar table. They immerse themselves in a tarot reading under a Murano Pendant light that radiates light, artfully reflected by the Georgian round mirror.


Liz Collins says, “This pink velvet accent chair and 1980s Italian sculpted white chairs with Georgia O’Keefe-style floral fabric are examples of how to challenge design conventions with their bold and eclectic appeal.” Antique Resources treasures, rich with history and elegance, perfectly complement Jane Z’s modern vision. Together, they create spaces that harmonize traditional charm with contemporary boldness. This fusion offers a unique journey through time, inviting shoppers to explore the interplay between past and present.





A Toast to Timeless Style

Liz and Maribel toast in style, seated in Danish sculptural leather bentwood lounge chairs. The rich dark Macassar and mahogany Ruhlmann table harmonize beautifully with the wood of the chairs, all under the captivating Olive Murano Pendant light. A 1931 Poster of Stella Dargis by Georges Dola reminds us of Art Deco Cinema glamor.
