Architectural Antiques, Layered with Soul
Step into Artifacts Atlanta, and you’ll find a curated mix of French, Italian, and English antiques—furniture in painted, bleached, and stained woods, layered with unusual garden pieces, statement lighting, and subtle surprises.
Michael Moore has been building this vision for decades. With a degree in interior design and architecture, he opened his first shop in 1995, later growing into European imports and ultimately shaping a style that merges form, texture, and timeless design.
At Round Top, Moore’s booth is a refined study in balance: 18th- to 20th-century furniture sit beside sculptural stone troughs, Napoleon III cabinetry, and antique lanterns. His use of crystal chandeliers and repurposed fixtures adds the final layer—always intentional, always dramatic.
“I look for scale, color, and functionality,” Moore says of his sourcing approach. “Pieces that feel good together, and bring a sense of life and story.” That intuition is honed by decades of travel and a deep appreciation for how cultures integrate antiques into everyday living.
This fall’s standout? A Napoleon III metal cabinet, clean-lined, moody, and versatile, perfect for closed storage or open display.
Artifacts Atlanta attracts interior designers who recognize Moore’s talent for visual editing. His unexpected pairings and signature use of garden elements give each vignette a collected, elevated feel.
Now entering his 20th year as a Round Top vendor, Moore credits the show’s community and energy for keeping his vision fresh. “Round Top gives me the chance to be expressive and connect with people who truly understand the work,” he says.
