Antiques

Antiques on Old Plank Road

If John Cannon isn’t able to travel abroad to find just the right piece for a client, his next stop is Antiques on Old Plank Road.

Artisan Antiques

When John Cannon is looking for a unique Art Deco piece, he first consults Artisan Antiques in Miami. In this room, the inspiration for the ceiling design in the theater came after the light fixtures and chandelier were purchased from Artisan Antiques. The gallery owners had a photograph of a 1920s Paris discotheque where the fixtures were originally found. The ceiling from which the chandelier originally hung was duplicated for the clients’home.
