Neither words nor photographs can prepare you for this experience. Once you pass through the cut-glass doors of Mussallem Galleries, Jacksonville, Florida you are in a different world. |
|
|
You have left the ordinary and tawdry behind. Here everything speaks in hushed tones of beauty, luxury and refinement.
|
|
|
Sculpture, paintings, antique and collectible rugs, masterpieces of furniture and the decorative arts covering every style and period from the Renaissance to the stunning work of contemporary craftsmen create stunning vision.
|
|
|
Collected over the centuries and from many exotic lands, this treasury of handmade glory has no equal on this continent. |
|
|
The galleries are noted for the exceptional catered receptions, which draw admirers from all over the Southeast and even farther afield, |
|
|
providing a feast for all five senses in an atmosphere of Olympian majesty.
|
|
|
The galleries cannot be imagined, much less appreciated, |
|
|
until they are experienced first hand. |
|
|
It gradually became obvious to the Mussallem family that a country with a half a dozen time zones was too large to be serviced from a single location on the Atlantic coast. |

The hunger for elegance, which is our reason for being, demanded and outlet in the West. |
|
|
After considerable exploration of suitable sites, we settled on Phoenix as the most suitable location to accommodate collectors in the mountain states and the great Southwest. |
|
|
Under the personal direction of James Mussallem, the Phoenix showrooms embody the same devotion to quality and culture found in the Florida headquarters.
|
|
|
Interior designers, architects and other professionals have learned over the years that the Mussallems can be trusted to provide their clients with the highest quality, at fair justified prices. |
|
|
Pieces bought here, as in Florida, more than hold their value through generations, becoming heirlooms which never fail to give heartwarming satisfaction.
