Editorial Review for Dixon & Dixon – by Chad Kirtland
The Scene
With more art than a museum, Dixon & Dixon is more a gallery than a store. The four-story French Quarter showroom features 200,000 square feet of space filled with 700-plus original paintings and other elegant goodies. Since 1974, Mary Shae's shop has been the premier place for upscale antiques thanks to incredible selection, competitive prices and the "world's best guarantee."
The Goods
This is what happens when castles close. Oils from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries fill every available wall space. Centuries-old rugs and elegant furniture abound. Showcases brim with antique and estate jewelry from Victorian to modern. Long-case clocks stand ceremoniously every few feet and gather in the clock room, where a phalanx of grandfathers tick. This store offers authentic antiques, with price tags to match--some even reach six figures.
