About Us
Be
a dear and do stop by this wonderful shop in the former warehouse district
that is trendy Miami Circle. Gail, Katie and Betsy Dearing have put together
one of the area's most charming little stores, featuring a grand selection
of English and French country furniture, as well as an unrivaled assortment
of Majolica, decorative items and Russian art. The displays of
festively-colored dishes, plates, and pottery are themselves worth a visit,
but be forewarned... Few who pass the Dearing doors are able to escape
without a cherished little bag under their arm.
Our History
More
than 26 years ago, Gail Dearing had no idea that her love for antique
American wicker would mature into one of the longest lived antique
businesses in Atlanta. Originally selling out of her basement, she
specialized in vintage wicker that she picked up on the back roads of New
England. As her reputation with designers spread, she opened a small shop
called 'Heirloom Wicker' with her friend, Jeanne. In 1984, Gail and Jeanne
relocated to a then unknown Buckhead warehouse district on Miami Circle and
expanded their business to include English pine furniture and English
majolica. In the early 1990's after Jeanne retired, Gail was joined by her
daughters, Katie and Betsy. Today the shop maintains an ever evolving
inventory of English period antiques, French country furniture and many
decorative items. Collectors know that Dearing Antiques is the place to find
majolica. |
