Today’s home design conjures many images – modern, traditional, sleek, shabby chic and on and on. Old, however, is generally not one of those images, but it should be.
Antiques – the old – add warmth and history to a home. Just as you carry treasured items from one home to another, it is the same inclination to include a mixture of old and new when completing your living space. Interiors with historic character, be it from a Louis XIV armchair or a Tiffany glass table lamp, act as a balancing counterpoint to streamlined contemporary objects.
Now, imagine a French Rococo revival gilt bronze chandelier or an Indian painted stone figure available at the tip of your fingertips. It could not be any easier to finish or revitalize your home with a bit of the old.
My lifelong passion that started in high school and eventually transformed into Eron Johnson Antiques in Denver six years ago is transforming yet again, taking all that is old into the digital age. We’ve closed our grand showroom and are in the process of building out a smaller space, next door to our original location, that will offer a more select and curated collection. While we obviously place value on old, we are not so deeply rooted in it as to not move forward with technology.
Our entire collection is available in our online catalog. And, because we will be housing so much less in our new space, we are holding an on-site auction with more than 2,000 antique furniture and architectural pieces on April 21st and 22nd. You can attend in person at our old showroom (389 S. Lipan) or bid online at LiveAuctioneers.
We hope to see you at our grand re-opening this June at 377 S. Lipan Street or visit us online!
