Greetings!
Some of you may know of my company already, but for those of you that don't I am pleased for this opportunity to introduce you to Antiques by Zaar. I've been asked to do so by my new Trade Partner, Aribesque, and whose mailing list I am preparing this missive for.
 
Carved Chinese StatureWe are very excited to be working together and it is our interest to build off of each other's reputations, mailing lists, marketing efforts and respective locations to present and promote our high end complementary lines together in High Point & online.
 
 
We look forward to seeing what we can do for each other, simply by collaborating.
 
Carved Chinese StaturePlease enjoy a short introduction below, to my business, which my husband and I founded in 1999, as importers, retailers and wholesalers of fine Chinese Antique Furniture.

Antiques by Zaar in High Point: A perspective/directions
 
Antiques by Zaar in High Point since 2004
 
Carved Chinese Stature My first days as an exhibitor at High Point were in the warm and classic ambiance of the Market Square building. The character of the faciltiy was reminiscent of my then warehouse, which was in an old mill in Lewiston Maine, and complemented my collection so nicely. 
 
Following our introduction and growing understanding of making our collection as available as possible to the Trade (in none other than "the furniture capital of the world"), we determined to make a further committment to High Point and thus, over the course of two years, moved our warehouse from Maine to High Point NC. Said move completed just over a year ago.
 
Our business model was such that our main store front has always been our website. Less the warehouse facility we have never had a brick and mortor store front and are thrilled for the latitude such has offered us by way of reaching customers nation wide. We came to High Point, ready to sell online and are happy to see so many of the people we have met and presented our collection to in person come on board to do their purchases from our online store front following said introduction.
 
However, we know the value in seeing all in person and we know the value of that place where this is best done, and that is most definitely High Point, NC.
 
Warehouse/Showroom: 400 Mandustry St, High Point.
 
Carved Chinese StatureI am excited to announce that we, for the first time, will be using our 12,000 square foot warehouse as our main venue to showcase our collection. Thanks to Jeff Moore, my in house designer, we have a portion of the warehouse set up in attractive vignettes, with the balance of our collection neatly sorted in aisles. Get a preview of our warehouse by visiting this clip on You Tube.
 
We will be open throughout Market...
 Saturday October 17- Thursday October 22 from 8:00- 5:00, and following Market, the first Wednesday of each month, and otherwise by appointment. When I am unavailable, Jeff, who is based out of Greensboro, is on the ready to share with you our line.
 
NOTE: We will have signs posted at each street corner just to offer assurance that you are going the right direction.
 
Should you have any questions, need a ride, want to make an appointment or clarify directions, please feel free to either call me (Ruth) on my cell at 207 838 2675 or Jeff at 336 337 0823.
Antiques by Zaar @ Aribesque: 114 S Main St., High Point
Carved Chinese Stature  I am so thrilled to have met Tracy Krohn, the life and energy behind Aribesque, on a trip earlier this month to High Point. We seem to have so much in common, including our respective businesses of 10 years, a passion and fervor for said businesses and a keen interest in collaborating our efforts to profile and present our businesses.
 
Our unique and high end collections so complement each other and the "fire" that each of us lit within, one to the other, just feels like this collaboration was "meant to be".
 
Please enjoy viewing a sampling of our offerings at Tracy's Main St showroom and similarly we will be showcasing some of her accent linens. Both of us will have available contact info on our respective lines.
 
Should the sampling of our collection as showcased at Aribesque intrigue you want to see more, know that we are quite literally a mere 10 minutes away. I am happy and able to provide transport. Also the Go Anywhere Shuttle has Antiques by Zaar on their route. Or, if you have your own transport, simple directions noted below:
 
  • From S Main and English Rd: 3 miles down English.
  • From English Rd: Left onto South Rd. (at a light & is just after Biscuitville)
  • South Rd: 1/4 mile to Lambeth, and turn left.
  • Lambeth: 1/10 mile to destination, Antiques by Zaar.
 Again, signs will be posted at all junctions and a banner is posted in front of the warehouse. You will have no doubt about whether or not you have found us. However, do not hesitate to call, either Jeff or myself, should you have any questions at all.
