Manoir Blackswan's Emmanuel Hébert: The international antique and art hustler straight outta Montreal

Owner and founder Emmanuel Hébert of Manoir Blackswan knows how to hustle.

The international antique dealer, builder, artist, designer, entrepreneur, high school dropout and a self-described lover of life has never known a moment in life where he hasn’t been on the move and selling something.

Working in what could be considered one of the most, if not the most, extreme antique galleries in or around the city, Hébert made more than a name for himself in the dying market of antique dealing.

A practice normally relegated to the odd shops found in the dusty corners of Montreal, Hébert’s built a place that’s testament to his passion for living, breathing, eating, sleeping, and deal in antiques: A 6,500-square-foot hybrid residence-showroom he not only sells from but lives in.
