Terms

In light of the pandemic we want to keep our shoppers and employees safe. Thank you for working with us as we follow CDC protocols. We will be checking temperature and providing hand sanitizer upon entry; we are requiring masks and will be limiting the number of people in the house at any one time.

Cash, credit cards and debit cards accepted
No children under the age of 10

This is a special week for us as we are honored to represent the estate of Virginia McAlester. Virginia was known as the Queen of Dallas Preservation and her home has been in her family for 99 years. The home and its contents are Dallas treasures.

The home is located on historic Swiss Avenue. It is a majestic 4-story home full of art, antiques, décor, fashion, china, unique books, and the collections of four generations of an iconic Dallas family. Our detailed descriptions of the items and our numerous pictures provide a terrific glimpse of what is offered, but they are poor substitutes for an on-site visit. We will be adhering to covid-19 protocols, including mask requirements, temperature checks, and limits on the number of people in the home at one time, so please be patient as we work toward a successful and safe experience.

As usual we will release the address on Thursday morning at 6am. Note that the home has 24/7 on-premises security before, during and after the sale.
