AntiquePlates.comBetty's Trip to Irish Acres Antiques, Part I--NO RECIPE
In this video, Betty and her husband, Rick, visit Irish Acres Gallery of Antiques in Nonesuch. Kentucky. After lunch at The Glitz restaurant located there we browsed many rooms of antiques. This is Part I of our antique-browsing. The history of Irish Acres Antiques originated in Rush, Kentucky, where in 1970, a horse barn, in which the Hannigan daughters showed horses was converted to an antique shop. The Hannigans purchased the Nonesuch elementary school in 1984 and opened the gallery after Arch hannigan renovated for two years. The operation in Rush was closed in 2001 after the loss of Bonnie Hannigan. The gallery in Nonesuch continues operation by Arch Hannigan and daughters Jane DeLauter and Emilie McCauley.
Irish Acres Gallery of Antiques, nestled in the rolling countryside of Nonesuch, Kentucky, displays beautiful American and European furniture, glassware, china, crystal, silver, linens, dolls, jewelry, rugs, decorative accessories and International giftware in a fantasyland setting of elegance and splendor. Irish Acres Gallery truly offers something unique and delightful for everyone, from the curious browser to the serious collector. The gallery now features many magnificent bronze sculptures by Artist, Burl Jones. The building that houses Irish Acres gallery of Antiques is a classically styled, two-story building that was built in 1936 and used until 1981 as an elementary school. The lavishly remodeled 32,000-square feet antique palace contains delightful, decorated-to-the-hilt displays on two floors with over 50 themed rooms designed to dazzle and inspire.
Rick and I really enjoyed browsing through the antiques and wanted to show your part of what we saw. It was truly amazing! I hope you enjoy this little tour. There will be a Part II and a Part III, following this video! --Betty :)
