We are excited to tell you that The Gables Antiques will be receiving some great new antiques next month! Over the next few weeks, we will be highlighting some of these wonderful items on our blog, and today we are featuring three wonderful pieces that will arrive in mid-June. These are purchases we made from a dealer we always go to see when we travel to France. With the great exchange rate, we are passing on the deals and are able to offer them at amazingly low prices!

This is an early 19^th century Vaisselier that dates back to 1830. It’s made of antique cherry and pine and measures 79” x 20” x 97” tall.

This lovely French Louis XV style Duchesse Brisee in beech dates to 1940. It measures 61” x 28” x 37 1/2” tall.

Also coming in mid-June is this French walnut buffet deux corps. It dates to 1830 and is from the area of Grenoble. This beautiful piece features eight doors and measures 87” x 16” x 83” tall.

If you are interested in any of these pieces, you can contact us at 888-805-8133 or visit our website for pricing information.

Stay tuned to our blog in the coming weeks, as we’ll be feature more items that are coming to our Atlanta shop next month!

Celebrate Mother’s Day with a Garden Tour & a Visit to The Gables

2012-05-10T19:46:49Z

Mother’s Day is this Sunday and if you are looking for a unique and fun gift for your mom, we’ve got a few great ideas in mind.

For starters, the Atlanta Botanical Gardens event Gardens for Connoisseurs takes place this weekend and features some of the loveliest private gardens in Atlanta. This tour showcases a wide variety of gardens, from quiet woodland settings to intimate urban gardens. You and your mom will surely be inspired as you view the designs created by our area’s talented landscape architects, garden designers, and local gardeners – some of which happily shared a few design tips in a recent article on Access Atlanta.

After you’ve toured the gardens, come on over to our neighborhood on Saturday and stroll down Miami Circle with your mom and visit The Gables Antiques! We have quite a few garden items in our shop, as well as a wonderful selection of gift items. We have some items in our inventory that can be used outside and some that can be used to bring the outdoors in. We’ve included a few photos of those items below.

Bring your mom or grandmother to the Gardens for Connoisseurs tours tomorrow and be inspired, and then stop by our Miami Circle shop to pick up a few gifts or items to use to spruce up your own spaces. We’ll be here from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms from The Gables Antiques!

Miami Circle Celebrates Art and Antiques was a Success!

2012-05-08T18:49:32Z

We had a fabulous turnout for the second edition of Miami Circle Celebrates Art and Antiques last Friday night! Everyone who attended had a wonderful time and everyone here at The Gables Antiques is especially pleased with how the event turned out. Below are some photos we took during the event.

We placed this painting and sign on our door to welcome our guests into the shop. Our theme for the evening was ‘Tinis in the Courtyard and everyone that stopped in really enjoyed the transformation of our entrance hall into a gorgeous garden. We filled the room with an assortment of wonderful flowering plants – all from Pikes Nursery – and they looked amazing! Over the course of the evening we saw many new faces and were able to catch up with old friends, too.

Of course, no event is complete without fabulous food and fun friends!

The charming trolley was rolling up and down the street, ringing the bell and carrying people from shop to shop. Folks especially enjoyed our “Destination” theme and were excited to take their “passports” with them, visiting at least five shops to qualify for one of the fabulous prizes offered by the 22 shop participants.

We would like to thank everyone that came out for the second edition of Miami Circle Celebrates Art and Antiques, as well as for the many compliments on our garden. We loved having this opportunity to show off our creative side! We enjoyed seeing each of you and look forward to seeing you again soon.

If you missed this edition of Circle Celebrates Art and Antiques, plan to attend this November! It will certainly be a fun event!
