Quiet Drama, Bold Contrast
At Grinard Collection, every piece holds its own, and everything is singular.
“I’m not an importer, and nothing in my space is custom-ordered to fit a trend or color scheme,” Grinard founder George Evans said when asked what inspires his sourcing. “Every piece is a one-of-a-kind gem, sourced locally and chosen for its individuality, provenance and character.”
Evans curates an ever-evolving selection of antiques and decor that spans centuries. His Round Top space stands out for its ability to surprise: Baroque drama beside clean-lined minimalism, rustic elements against refined classics. The contrasts feel intentional, layered and quietly striking.
Sourced primarily through trusted relationships in the Palm Beach area—real estate agents, attorneys, private collectors—his inventory includes distinctive lighting, rare case pieces, neoclassical items and artwork that blurs the lines between fine art and object. This fall, standout pieces include a large Murano glass sculpture in the School of Lino Tagliapietra, and a monumental eight-foot Italian alabaster, marble, brass and crystal palm tree floor lamp.
“This season, I’m leaning into a mood of quiet drama—pieces that speak softly but leave a lasting impression. The story is about contrast and texture: gilded surfaces beside raw wood, sculptural forms alongside timeworn patina and refined European elegance meeting soulful, elemental design. There’s a subtle nod to nostalgia, but nothing feels staged or overly polished,” Evans said. “It’s about creating spaces that feel collected, personal and just a little mysterious—where every piece holds its own weight and invites a closer look.”
