We, the Green family, after many years of running, maintaining and supplying thousands of antiques to our community through our antique mall in the small quaint town of Troy Tennessee, faced the decision to close in late 1999 early 2000. The enormous responsibility to the public and vendors and consignment clients was becoming more demanding and we decided to close. Upon closing and relaxing for a bit, we then embarked upon building a small single shop next to our house in our old garden spot. We have always loved the hunting, digging around, barn diving, and probably guilty of a dumpster dive or two in our life time, to bring some of the most unique and precious heirlooms back to life, restoring and reselling them to forever homes. So without the demands of vendors, booths, and consignments, we once again waded off into the world of what we do best with a new shop appropriately named Garden Cottage Antiques in the year of 2004. We work closely with our customers to find those unique pieces they are searching for while at the same time going to local auctions to bring back to our shop nostalgic and beautiful pieces to sell to the public. We have now decided to launch our business on the web in order to bring a piece of the past right into the present and into your homes. We will be listing smaller items from our shop that are much easier to ship, however, we do have many larger items to include furniture that will be sold with a local pickup only due to the cost and labor involved in shipping those larger items. We will be posting before and after shots of our restored and re-purposed items on our website along with other pictures of our shop. If you are looking for a particular item please email us and we can see if it is something that we can acquire for you or it may be that we have it but it is not listed on our page. We invite you into our world of antiques and hope that you will enjoy your online shopping with us.
