Page 18 www.lux-review.com LUX 2018 Global Excellence Awards Since 2015 Rockwell Antiques has been drawing on the vast experience of its team to provide honest, unbiased valuations, sales and support to a wide range of clients. Nevan explains how, despite the firm’s youth, it is able to use the expertise of its team to benefit its valued clients in a unique way. “Whilst Rockwell Antiques is relatively new to the world of antiques, as a team we bring to it over 25 years of experience in the fine art, antique and collectible industry. We offer luxury and high-end fine art, fine antique Rockwell Antiques Dallas offers clients a unique, rare and important inventory of fine art, furniture, jewelry, objects D’Art, crystal, chandeliers, silver, rugs, rare books, fine architectural pieces, from around the World. We invited Nevan O’Shaughnessy to tell us more about this innovative firm and the range of services it provides to its esteemed clientele. Rockwell Antiques Dallas Best Fine Art & Antique Dealer 2018 - South West USA furniture and collectibles from all over the Globe. We are constantly acquiring new unique pieces to expand our inventory. What makes us different in the luxury lifestyle space is the attention to detail we observe in researching and cataloguing all our pieces before posting them online or in our gallery. We believe in honesty above all other principles and our customers can implicitly trust our provenance on pieces. “Where we do not have a specific provenance, we use that opportunity to, at the very least, educate our customers of the history of that genre or style. Our dedication to excellence has quickly been recognized in this space by not only these awards, but also our invitations to join the Global Platforms of DECASO and 1stDibs. We only stock what we consider to be unique and historically significant pieces of the highest quality. We offer our customers that piece that is ‘special’ and with a story to go with it. We are dedicated to delivering that ‘special’ piece to the discerning collector.” Whilst Rockwell Antiques is only in its infancy in the antiques market, and as such Nevan is excited for what the future will hold for this dynamic company as it prepares to adapt around emerging market trends to build upon its current success. “With regards to the future, here at Rockwell Antiques we truly believe that in the global luxury landscape the trends are moving back towards our sector of traditional antiques. Designers are beginning to see the beauty of combining and mixing traditional styles with contemporary styles and if we are correct, then this will inevitably lead to a renewed interest and demand for exceptional and quality items. As such, we understand the need to adapt to that demand and ensure that we are able to locate, acquire and stock those items to meet the inevitable demand, but remaining true to our ethos and creed, that we have a responsibility to save and record the ‘stories’ of these items for future generations. “Ultimately, our mission is to change the way that fine art, antiques and collectibles are sold to both, the discerning collector and the eager first time customer. We do not want to sell pieces because they are simply beautiful, but also because they have a ‘story’ worth recording and preserving for future generations. We want our name to become synonymous with integrity, historical accuracy, quality and approachability. We ensure adherence to this mission statement every day by making ourselves freely available to customers to discuss items of interest and our dedication to research and the recording of each piece’s ‘story’ not only on our website, but in person by phone, email or in our gallery. Upcoming market trends will help us to establish ourselves as ‘the’ art and antiques dealer in Texas, and as such we are looking forward to a future filled with exciting opportunities.” Company: Rockwell Antiques Dallas Name: Nevan O’Shaughnessy Address: 1500 Market Center Blvd., Dallas, TX 75207, USA Telephone Number: 1 (972) 685-0808 Web Address: www.rockwellantiquesdallas.com “Where we do not have a specific provenance, we use that opportunity to, at the very least, educate our customers of the history of that genre or style..
