Meet Carolyn

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to beautiful things with a story.

What began as a love for antiques and vintage treasures, eventually became a lifelong passion for collecting unique pieces from wherever life took me. Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours exploring antique shops, estate sales, flea markets, auctions, and hidden corners of cities all around the world.

From Paris, to NYC, San Francisco, Nashville, and beyond, I’ve always been fascinated by the history, craftsmanship, and character that older pieces bring into our lives. Every item tells a story, and I have travelled across continents to build a fabulous collection of items that deserve to be remembered.

Golden Age Emporium was created as a place to share those discoveries. This store is a reflection of the pieces I personally love - beautiful furniture, vintage decor, artwork, books, collectibles, jewelry, textiles, and one-of-a-kind treasures that add warmth, personality, and history to a home.

I don’t buy based on trends, I buy what speaks to me.

My hope is that when you visit Golden Age Emporium, you’ll experience the same excitement I feel when uncovering a special find, and discover something that feels as though it was meant just for you.

I look forward to welcoming you into the store, and sharing these treasures with you!
