"Antiques Moderne will go.

It will vanish and shrink.
I needn't argue with that;
I'm right and I will be proved right.
We're more popular than them now"
.
Disgusting quote by JOHN LENNON which eventually led to mass burnings of Beatles albums in June 1966. (Pictured second from the left in this now charming "VINTAGE" picture.)

I have been enamored with this showroom for months since I stumbled upon it as it is only a block down from my offices in the Dallas Design District. Antiques Moderne has taken Mid-Century modern design and made it accessible to Dallasites...they can barely keep the items on the floor, many selling within an hour of a post or email newsletter













"As I browsed the floor I noticed tags attached to numerous pieces; "HOLD" ... "SOLD" ... "SOLD" ... "WAITING FOR PICKUP". Furniture was leaving almost as fast as it was coming in. Time to merchandise and make the showroom "pretty" just wasn’t an option. Even John’s fabulous photo shoot area/studio had disappeared in a sea of Mid Century Eclectomania. The only recognizable space was his desk; covered in unusual vinatge objects"

"We knew this one was going to be good by the number of breathy phone calls and swooning e-mails that came in before we could even discover it for ourselves ... Dallas' A-List designers and decorators routinely trawl the isles."  Rob Brinkley
