Impressive Upscale Antiques

Palladio Antiques has got to be one of the classiest antique markets in the nation. We've been to all sorts of places in the US & England and have never seen anything like this one. Definitely upscale. Not the most expensive antiques, but definitely the best presentation ever! The store's got a bunch of decorated stalls they call "vignettes". Makes the mouth water. And speaking of watering the mouth, they've got an awesome cafe (not a tea room - a real cafe, lunch only, I think) where we ate. Then we went to their other three stores all within walking distance, except it was stinking cold in Memphis that day, so we drove the block to the other stores: another antique showroom, garden & architectural salvage, and an art gallery. This is worth making a special trip to Memphis to see. While you're there, make the most of it & stay at The Peabody hotel about five miles west, downtown. Great city to visit.
