Max’s business, known as Solantiques, is aimed directly at the interior design trade who seem very taken with a stock which currently includes work by Shoolbred,
Hampton and Son and Harrods.
Apparently High Point is quite a mecca for buyers of period furniture and with his passion for English upholstery Max should make his mark; he reckons he is the only English dealer in the United States with his particular speciality.
The Max factor
HAVING run antique furniture businesses in Hampshire and the Midlands, Max Salisbury upped sticks two years ago to make his fortune in North Carolina. Looking at events in America over the past two years his timing could not have been worse, but now he has successfully established a business at 1102 North Main Street, High Point (Tel: +1 336 883 1494) where he displays his speciality – expertly re-upholstered 19th century English furniture in “natural and uncluttered” room settings.
