Leigh-Boyd Antiques and Interiors has been an historic west Fort Worth institution since 1993.  Proprietor John Mitchell was born and raised on the west side of Fort Worth just off the Camp Bowie bricks and feels most at home operating this fabulous shop in the neighborhood where he grew up and currently resides.  John offers an ever-changing and exciting collection of French, Italian, English, Asian and Mexican antiques mingled with newer home accessories, lamps, and contemporary pieces.   The antiques are not limited to furniture…you will also find smaller treasures such as 400 year old Ming Dynasty pottery, African masks and Mexican religious artifacts.  Your shopping experience is enhanced by the wonderful music always playing in the background from a selection of CDs for purchase.  As you browse the antiques, you can also pick up one of many fabulous gift items in stock and take advantage of the complimentary gift wrapping services….people love opening a Leigh-Boyd box!  Divine French milled soaps scent the air as you peruse the bed linens and explore the best selection of decorative arts and design books in Fort Worth.

If your table needs dressing up, you can find everything you need for a fabulous table setting.  Italian pewter and crystal stemware elegantly accentuate the pewter rimmed dinner plates and pewter flatware, also from Italy.  Beautiful Fleur-de-lis dinnerware and serving pieces are handcrafted from Italian red clay, glazed in one of three different colors and go from oven to table…a favorite to collect or give as a gift!  Accessories for the bar are plentiful, from crystal decanters and glassware to pewter toasting cups with a variety of animal heads that are sure to be a conversation piece.

Bridal registry is also offered to the discerning bride with good taste and a flair for decorating.

Always featured is high quality, original artwork by local artists (including some of John’s own work) that show in the shop during the Fort Worth Art Dealers Association Gallery Night in the spring and fall.  Their artwork can be viewed and purchased year-round at Leigh-Boyd.
