Melissa Chapman Melissa Chapman is a dynamic entrepreneur whose career is defined by vision, courage, and an instinct for beauty. At just 19, she left the London School of Economics to follow her passion for Persian carpets, opening a boutique in South Kensington, London, just steps from Christie's Auction House. What began as a modest venture quickly evolved into a thriving antiques business, sourcing exceptional pieces across Europe and importing curated collections at scale. Today, as founder of The Chapman Collection in Rancho Santa Fe, Melissa has created a welcoming space filled with antiques, fine art, and pieces with history and soul. She also manages her mother's international real estate portfolio. Known for her warm, approachable nature, Melissa has a gift for making every client feel instantly at ease, often as though they have known her for years. A devoted single mother to her two teenage sons, Blake and Dalton, and a longtime Rotarian, she leads with both purpose and heart.
