Recently I needed to move my grandmother from her apartment to an Assisted Living Community. She had antiques, paintings and miscellaneous objects d’art that she could not take with her. I am from out of state and had just a few days to empty her apartment and move her. The owner Craig Mayor provided me the services I needed to get the move done. He educated me on the things my grandmother had and then made arrangements for the purchase of the things he wanted, emptying of the apartment of the things he did not want and packing and sending paintings to my home. This made the move so much easier. It was hard to see the things that had been in the family leave but so nice to know they would be well cared for until they found a new home. The store is gorgeous with everything so carefully orchestrated for best display. I will definitely tell friends visiting southeastern Florida to visit this special place. I could not be happier with my experience working with Decorative Arts and Antiques.

Outstanding, helpful and very friendly staff who help you with everything you need. From the second I walked into the shop I already loved it and as I went through the antiques I couldnt wait to come back and purchase even more unique finds!! Definitely would reccomend!

Craig, Andrea, and the entire staff are great to work with. Professional, knowledgeable, dependable, and pleasant. We were in a crunch for time and Craig took the time to help us with pricing and more so that we had an amazing outcome at our estate sale. It was like working with a good friend. Thank you so much! At Organized Flow, LLC we beleive we have the BEST appraiser in the industry!

Craig was so generous with his knowledge & expertise. Great person to work with! Thanks Craig for sharing your guidance. Hope to work with you again very soon!

Good people here. I had a great experience with them and honestly love to get into some good antiquing. They know their stuff too.

When selling my parents home in Tamarac, I called several arts and antique dealers for estimates and appraisals on my mothers collections. After meeting with quite a few, I had the fortunate experience of working with Craig of Decorative Arts and Fine Antiques. Craig made several visits with us, educating us patiently about the value of her belongings and helping us connect with other buyers for items he couldnt personally use. As we were packing and selling the house from out of state, Craig offered to assist with the disposition of items we couldnt sell, helping to provide trucking services and personal assistance with all our needs to pack and arrange for the estate liquidation. We developed a relationship with a sense of trust and confidence in him. He proved to be an honorable businessman who went way above and beyond our expectations during a very stressful time. He waited patiently to obtain his purchases until the closing of title and kept in touch with us upon our return to N.Y., even shipping personal family portraits that were left behind! I would highly recommend Craig of Decorative Arts and Fine Antiques to sell or buy estates and treat you with dignity and fairness. Thank you for your help and support! Jayne and Cassidy Kaht

Unique and beautiful finds in this shop. Owners are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Worth stopping by!

Nice collection of art.

Best antique store, love it

Fantastic collection of the real treasures The buyer definitely knows his stuff and has curated an exceptional offering of all things antique, for both the serious dealers, collectors and designers to the simple lover of all things old, beautiful and creations of true craftmanship. So happy to have found them!

Creme de la Creme of Products AND Service! These lovely people know their stuff.

Beautiful great quality antiques!

From pickup to delivery of my restored antique chest, Craig Mayors services were superlative! During my recent move from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale, the detailing on the chest was marred. Craigs professional craftsman not only restored the damaged areas, but also brought out additional wood highlights in the entire chest. I am so pleased with the results that Ive asked him to restore a family heirloom. Applause, APPLAUSE for Craig and DAFA!

This antique shop is absolutely incredible. Really lovely collection. I buy whenever Im in Ft. Lauderdale. Owners Craig and Deborah are THE nicest people you could meet. Craig is so fun. Charming people. Highly recommend you stop by and check it out.

Dont miss this gallery if youre shopping for antiques, furniture, art or other decorative items; its filled with treasures. Craig is knowledgeable, helpful and easy to work with. The shopping and shipping experience was flawless.

Ive been to upscale, fine antique shops all over Florida (and around the U.S.) and Id have to say Craigs shop ranks at the top in terms of beautiful, decorative items and true antiques that are priced very fairly. His inventory is constantly changing and the most prominent families in South Florida consign or sell to him so he gets the best stuff! Best of all, hes an extremely nice person (as is his son Chris at Abington Auctions - a GREAT auction house) and they make you feel very welcome in their shop. I recommend them all the time.

Decorative Arts and Fine Antiques has beautiful furniture, porcelain, art, and accessories. They have some some of the best quality antiques in South Florida. Craig, the owner, is very knowledgeable and reputable. His inventory turns often so there is always something new to see in his shop.

Total pleasure from start to finish. Prompt reply to my initial inquiry and to every call/email/text thereafter. Timely and professional; courteous and knowledgable. While I had conducted research on my items beforehand to ensure I was equipped with a realistic understanding of the values of my items, I basically wasted my time. Craigs honesty receives my highest compliment; he pleasantly surprised me with his fairness throughout the entire process. If there was a six star to give, he would get it. Look no further - you have found the best place to downsize your home of fine furniture, antiques, collectibles, etc. The fact that he can team up with his son, Chris, who runs an awesome auction gallery, makes the whole process seamless. THANK YOU CRAIG & CHRIS!

Great place to have a meal and just kick back service extraordinary

Aha! My first antique shop visit ever and was in awe! Mesmerizing at the craft of hand made of yesteryears will bewithme for life.looking,changed my perception

The finest antiques we have found in Ft Lauderdale. Friendly, knowledgeable owners and staff. We never miss this shop when we visit Ft Lauderdale. Very good about shipping merchandise also.

Nice high end quality antique pieces. Very beautiful things.

This is my FAVORITE store for fine antiques and upscale vintage. I have lived in Fort Lauderdale for 20+ years and have loved everything Ive ever purchased here. The entire staff - Craig and Debbie (owners), Chris, Andrea and Lars are friendly and make walking in a fun experience. Best advice from a pro - GO THERE OFTEN - theres always new and beautiful things!!

Beautiful and interesting furniture and artwork. Its the real thing. The owner has a great sense of value and aesthetics and treats people fairly. They host auctions too.

Beautiful pieces, makes me wish I had a bigger house to buy more of it! Even if your just in the mood to browse, great place to go and appreciate the quality from times past. The owner is very welcoming and easy going. Ill be going back for sure.

Very friendly people. Beautiful antiques. Very knowledgeable.

How refreshing to work with a professional and knowledgeable person!Craig, the perfect gentleman, came to my house and evaluated all the items I wanted to sell. He dealt with honesty and integrity. I highly recommend this store!Sandy CalamaiCoconut Grove

This store was so charming and had a wonderful employee named alarms who made us feel welcome and was helpful. We bought a dining table. Their prices are fair and they had wonderful customer service. I would shop here again in a heartbeat.

There are many fascinating items for sale here. Certainly a fun place to brows if in the area. This is a higher end shop as its real artwork of excellent workmanship quality.

Highly recommended!Craig and his son, Chris, worked with us to buy the furniture, art and antiques from our moms house after she passed away. We liked the fact that they do auction for art and the smaller items and that they have a storefront for the antique furniture. They were so knowledgable, fair in pricing, efficient in getting it all moved out the same day and in writing the check! They were such nice, friendly people that the whole thing was an enjoyable experience that we have fond memories of!

Had an incredible experience with the owners of Fort Lauderdale Arts & Fine Antiques. Working with a client downsizing from a 4,000 square foot home to a much smaller one was forced to find someone quickly that understood the situation and the need to liquid antiques, designer furniture and art. No doubt my client will be back shopping at this incredible shop to furnish the new home! Thanks for help!

Worth a visit if your palate is antiques at a premium price. Purchased a coffee table

Absolutely outstanding! I can’t say enough incredible things about Craig Mayor and Abington Auction Gallery (including their staff and even the moving company they use). I recently consigned a Ralph Lauren coffee table and an 18th century campaign desk with them and at auction time we had 8 different bidders on the table and 6 on the desk. We sold them for over 40% more than we expected. Look no further if you need an auction house for your furniture, jewelry or valuables. They are easily the best in Florida and their auction internet presence both nationally/internationally are considered at the very top of the first tier sellers. Highly recommend!

The best spot in South Florida for the best in antiques ..... This is the real deal folks... New exciting finds all the time in a beautiful setting... Always friendly, informative, and an outstanding value... Known Craig and Deb for 20 years and Im hard to please !!!

Impressive collection of antiques. Criags’ (owner) passion and knowledge is second to none. Wonderful buying experience, would highly recommend.

This is the very best place to get beautiful and unique antiques...I have purchased many things from Craig...My favorite piece got water damage from the hurricane and Craig had it repaired to pristine condition...I was thrilled that he would go beyond to help me...his staff makes you feel so welcome...I live in Tampa, I look forward to going to fort lauderdale to come home with such beautiful treasures from his gallery....Sharon Wagner

I simply LOVE this store! Its easy to lose track of time as you roam from room to room, there are so many beautiful, funky, interesting, mysterious pieces I wish I knew the stories behind each and every one.. Cant wait to go back and see whats new!

A little over our payscale but they do have a beautiful selection of antiques!

Nice stuff, prices are on the high side.

Excellent store with the finest antique works of art from painting and vases to furniture that will enlighten you. Craig Mayor is a very friendly, highly sociable, and most authentic person.

Have you ever felt desperation? Its that feeling in the pit of your stomach that lets you know youre in big trouble? Well, I dont feel desperate any more now that Ive used DAFINC and Craig Meyer. My 93 year old father died in FL, the real estate agent needed to get rid of all the clutter and I live in VA. My stress level was through the roof! Craig said, Our job is to take the stress away. Well take care of everything. I felt angels singing in the background. Heres the best part. He followed through on every commitment he made. There are lots of estate professionals in FL. Before you sign a contract, call FAINC. You wont be sorry. Thanks, Craig!

Craig is very much a gentleman who will take the time to share his vast knowledge of his pieces. Dealing with him is fair and satisfactory. The entire staff at DAFA is excellent. Skip Las Olas and head to N. Dixie Hwy.

Fabulous antiques, pieces are unique and classy and the art collection is very special. Have auctions. Staff is friendly​
