Established in 1972, Aileen Minor Antiques specializes in American Classical Furniture 1790-1850 and garden antiques. We are located on Maryland's beautiful Eastern Shore in the town of Centreville, near Annapolis, Washington, and Baltimore.

With an educational background, master's degree in history, and teaching experience in the United States and Europe, Aileen Minor has a deep scholarly interest in the classical period and history of garden ornament and antique classical furniture.

Each exceptional piece has been personally selected for beauty, authenticity, fine quality, and always as represented.

We have a special interest in fine early 19th century lighting, curtain pins or tiebacks, glass, paintings, and engravings of the period. Garden settees, urns, fountains, and sculpture are always on display in our outdoor garden "rooms", viewed by appointment in our 1806 federal brick building so you can view them in a garden setting.

Aileen Minor exhibits at major charity antiques shows in the East and has a large selection of inventory shown through this web site, which is updated regularly.

We have sold to many museums, public collections, and private collectors, and are always interested in teaching and working with new clients. We thoroughly research and document all that we sell.

We are located in an 1806 National Register federal brick building with display gardens. Open by appointment. Please email or telephone us with any questions you might have about our inventory, the antique shows at which we exhibit, or articles and features in home and design magazines.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Aileen Minor & Staff
