A Heritage Destination
Liesel Farm doesn’t just display antiques, it holds them. The way you’d hold something passed down, something with weight and story. The showroom is as much about place as it is about time.
Curated by Lisa Gillette, the Liesel Farm Collection is built around what she called a refined sense of “French chic living”. It’s not a look, it’s a feeling, as she explains, “Stepping into our space feels like entering a cherished country estate owned by your dearest French friend”. She explains how each antique is “timeless, inviting and woven with European family lineage”.
With a background as a career flight attendant, her perspective is global. Originally a practical extension of her design and construction work, antique sourcing soon became Lisa’s personal passion. She opened the doors of Liesel Farm Antiques, not just to share them, but to give them new life. As she says, parting with them is always bittersweet.
That sense of story is central to the experience. Fondly dubbed “the museum” by her Round Top peers, the antiques are meant to be experienced not just seen. You run your hands over the worn wood, the softened linen, the brass that glows where time has touched it. These are objects that ask you to pause. Lisa explains how “Even to those who cannot see into the soul of its long-passed craftsmen, you feel it in the grain of the wood, in the quiet imperfections. They make a room feel rooted”. Round Top is home. She and her husband, Rob, are part of the small 87-person community. Together, they’ve restored several of the town’s most historic homes, including the oldest original residence. The Liesel Farm properties also includes Le Lieu, the Aix-en-Provence-inspired luxury wedding venue.
Their work is a love letter to heritage, crafted not for display, but for daily life. Liesel Farm is their proudest chapter yet. Round Top isn’t just a market, it’s their way of life. They work “to the rhythm of the antiques seasons and the calm of the quiet off-seasons,” she shared. Liesel Farm welcomes everyone, “I’m happiest when I meet a first-time buyer, especially a young client selecting their very first antique,” Gillette confessed. “We both know it will spark a journey to create a home they truly love.”
