Best Place to Appreciate Furniture as Fine Art

Rath Gallery

Rath Gallery, which opened last fall, is Austin's only gallery dedicated to furniture and rare home decor. While all of the inventory is for sale, the experience of browsing the store is designed to be similar to visiting fine art galleries in major cities like Los Angeles or New York. The gallery features antiques and objects that are often hundreds of years old, and owners Eli Rabb and Maggie Orth often share enchanting stories about each object they have acquired for the space, detailing histories and provenances that span the globe.
