“Walking into a time capsule”, is how you would best describe the collections and grandeur; as Dallas and Texas history fills this unique, Preston Hollow Estate.
Baccarat and Italian crystal chandeliers, along with Stephen F. Austin, William B. Travis and Sam Houston, greet you upon entering. The stunning Quezal, “King Tut” glass-shade and brass chandelier, floor and table lamps are exquisite reminders of ageless, Art Nouveau design; with circa 1850’s, solid mahogany dining, parlor and entry pieces as pristine as when they were created. Half-Tester bed with provenance, stunning library filled with antique and newer, mixed genre books, Steuben cranberry glass, Baccarat stemware, Waterford, Baltimore Rose china by Haviland and much more.
If you are not into fancy and prefer a bit more rustic, we have a massive collection of pre-historic Native American Indian arrowheads, tools and bone collections, antique farm hand-tools, kitchen gadgets, locks with keys, industrial cabinets, typewriters and a wonderful collection of antique cash registers & slot machines.
We are limiting the number of ‘shoppers’, inside the home, with additional limits in certain rooms.
Please no pricing or early/pre-sell questions.
