Exhibitor Spotlight: Art & Antique Hunter

Art & Antique Hunter, Mitra Kilburn, was part of our very first show in 2010 and she continues to delight her clients each Market at The Antique & Design Center with a fresh selection of exquisite European antiques and decorative arts, 16th-19th Century.  She is known for her fabulous mirrors and chandeliers and she has recently added a collection of Mid-Century Modern European pieces.  

Mitra is a third-generation antiques dealer who loves the thrill of the hunt and finding one of a kind pieces and true treasures.  When asked about her favorite purchase ever, she said "Every piece!!!  Each is unique and irreplaceable!"  

She loves showing at High Point Market because it gives her an opportunity to share her collection with talented designers, retailers and dealers from around the world.

She invites you to visit her warehouse and her space at Mews in Dallas, as well as MAI in Houston year round.  She can also be found at Marburger Farm and Arbor Antiques in Round Top, Texas, where she shows twice a year and of course The Antique & Design Center each Spring and Fall during High Point Market in space 25 on Ground level of Historic Market Square. 

You can also connect with her on facebook and instagram!

When asked about his favorite purchase of all time, Richard said it had to be the rug that he rescued from the trash and sold for $24,000. at auction!  Now that was quite a treasure to find!
