Cupboards & Roses Antiques is known for its extensive collection of 18th and 19th century painted furniture from Scandinavia and Europe. Featured Scandinavian antiques include Gustavian commodes and settees, painted tea tables and Rococo chairs, Bornholmer and Mora clocks, and Swedish secretaries (sekretärin). The selection of German and Austrian armoires and hope chests is one of the most extensive in America.
We currently have in the store a very unusual early Swedish tall case clock from the far north with a case carved from a single block of wood. Our earliest piece is a Scandinavian table ca.1550, with 2" thick top and tenoned legs showing the shape of the tree they were riven from.
Edith Gilson has built her reputation on her discerning eye, her inclination for the unusual, and her expertise in the field of antique painted furniture. She has traveled extensively in Scandinavia and Europe, developing relationships with people whose families have spent years studying and collecting folk art and painted furniture. Through our store, she brings the collective knowledge of these specialists to her clientele.
Pieces from Cupboards & Roses Antiques have been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Vogue Magazine, House Beautiful, Country Living, Florida Design, The New York Times, and Better Homes and Gardens, as well as the local media.
For special pieces, we also offer full services in sourcing Swedish antiques.
Open daily 10 - 5; closed Tuesdays.
