This store's inventory spans the century, but their selections from the '40s and '50s are especially magnificent. Prices can be a bit on the high side, but due to their rarity and excellent condition, most items are worth it. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Upscale consignments |
4201 Westbank Drive Austin, TX 78746 United States +1 512 329 8421 |
The quality of a home consignment shop rests on how selectively the store consigns merchandise. Here, it is obvious that the items are looked over carefully before admission, and not just any secondhand sofa can get in. The brand names are top-notch, including Henredon, Thomasville and Roche BoBois. There is also Wedgwood China and Waterford Crystal. Some of the items come from well-heeled folk who are redecorating, others from model homes. The inventory changes often, so it is fun to check back and see what has newly arrived.

French furniture built to impress |
1009 West Sixth Street Whit Hanks Building, Suite 106 Austin, TX 78703 United States +1 512 477 1616 http://www.negrelantiques.com/ |
An 18th-century Louis XIV blonde walnut armoire at this shop is typical of the several other architecturally powerful pieces you will find here. The over six-foot armoire is polished to an almost flawless finish and detailed with in-laid five-pointed stars, evoking Napoleon and the Bastille, as well as the Lone Star State. Indeed, this furniture, in its size and spirit, somehow seems just right for Texas. Prices can go as high as several thousand dollars. This Texas antique dealer understands the French-Connection when it comes to furniture. As the 18th-century French armoires and bookcases here testify, the civilized people of that country have for centuries appreciated furniture's (shall we call it) power. Review © 2007, Wcities |
