TheHighBoy.com pledges to simplify
antiques for the 21st century. Targeting designers and antique-lovers
alike, the much-anticipated site went live with over 1,000 vetted items
for sale and ready to ship.
TheHighBoy.com is an immersive image- and history-rich online space
created to explore and purchase antiques, fine art, and intriguing
objects from the industry’s most trusted dealers. The HighBoy’s mission
is to inspire visitors by creating a narrative for the items on the
site, and the dealers offering them.
“We want to provide an experience and context for the purchase of
great antiques,” says Olga Granda-Scott, a second-generation dealer who
founded the startup with her husband, Douglas Scott. With more than two
decades of experience in the antiques business between them, the Scotts
are tightly curating the site for inventory quality and authenticity
with an eye toward pieces that have a story to tell, and a service
guarantee that is unprecedented in the online antiques arena.
"The HighBoy is more than a website or a marketplace, it's a movement to expand the reach of the entire industry to new audiences," says Douglas Scott. The HighBoy is setting out to democratize the often-intimidating process of purchasing antiques by educating their users through editorial content, detailed descriptions, and dealer commentary.

Through a portal, which offers transparency, service, and ease-of-use for both consumers and designers, The HighBoy is certain to break down the barriers which have historically impeded buyers from entering the world of art and antiques.
