Gilded Age Antiques

History

We have been operating here in Banner Elk, NC for over 25 years. Starting out as a small store front, owners William McLaren & Robert Ruggles have established The Gilded Age Antiques and Interiors as an institution through their vast historical and design knowledge. All of our pieces ranging to 18th century to Mid Mod furniture and specialty gift items are hand selected to fit our customers needs.
