Roush Antiques is one of seven dealers under the roof of Gillham House Antiques, in the historic Stine & McClure building. Tim and Sue trade in European and American antiques and vintage treasures — pieces that earn their place in a room and hold it for the next hundred years.
The inventory turns over constantly, so the booth is never the same twice. Carved cupboards and alabaster light one week, folk weathervanes and a cast-iron pig named Frank the next. The hunt is the point.

The story behind a piece — where it came from, why it stopped him in the aisle.
Field Note
The Alabaster Chandelier
I almost walked past this one. It was hanging in a back room under a bare bulb, the alabaster gone gray with dust. But alabaster keeps its best trick hidden until there's light behind it. We got it home, wired it up, and the whole bowl lit like a slice of agate — warm amber veins you'd never guess were in there. Worth the crick in my neck getting it down.

Field Note
“Frank”
Every booth needs one piece that stays even after everything else sells. Frank is ours. He came out of a farm estate with his paint mostly worn off and a handwritten tag still tied on — my name is frank. We kept the tag. He's cast iron, heavy as a cinder block, and the most photographed thing we own. Kids come back just to say hi to him.

Field Note
The Italian Painted Cabinet
This one stops people in the aisle. Two portraits painted right on the doors — a young man and a young woman, looking at each other across the latch. The paint is original, crackled the way only real age does it. I don't know their names and I never will. Somebody painted them with a lot of care a long time ago, and now they get to keep watching the room.
