Stillwell House Fine Art & Antiques opened their original gallery in Manalalapan, NJ in June of 2003. This former location is the site of an authentic early 19th century farmstead and also a State of New Jersey Farmland Preserve, which is located on bustling Route 9. Gallery owners Ronald Knox and Paul Gallagher renovated the 175 year old farm house before opening to become the perfect showcase for a hand-picked collection of pre-industrial revolution era Antiques and select works of Art. The thoughtful and lovely transformation earned Stillwell House their first accolade in the form of the 2004 Preservation Award from the Monmouth County Historical Commission. After weathering the Great Recession, in 2010 Stillwell House Fine Art & Antiques filmed two test pilot reels for Leftfield Entertainment, the original production company for the well-known reality TV show "Pawn Stars". The business owners wished to continue to focus on the daily business of the Shop, but the concepts from the pilot reels were picked up and eventually became shows that were aired on cable TV. In 2011 they sold the Estate of the famous American Artist Leon Dabo (1864-1960), an event so newsworthy that it was covered in the New York Times with nearly a full page article. Stillwell House Fine Art & Antiques is also proud to be included in many important books and publications including "Retail Business: Entrepreneur's Step-By-Step Startup Guide", by Entrepreneur Press, "A History of American Tonalism, 1880-1920", by David Adams Cleveland, "The Drawings of Leon Dabo" by Sullivan Goss, "The Pastels of Leon Dabo; Essays by William H Gerdts , Dr. Cody Hartley , Frank Goss and Nathan Vonk", published by Sullivan Goss, and "Leon Dabo Florals", by Sullivan Goss. In 2013 they participated in the Montclair Art Museum's 100 year anniversary show entitled "The New Spirit, American Art in The Armory Show , 1913" in Montclair, NJ. After a complete gut-level, top to bottom renovation, Stillwell House Fine Art & Antiques re-opened in their new home in April of 2015 in the heart of the Arts, Antiques, and Design District at 212 West Front Street in Red Bank, New Jersey. The original location in Manalapan, NJ is now closed.

After 20 years as a human resources professional and 13 years of motherhood, Dottie Page was hungering for a career that would allow her to develop and express her creative talents. Several designers had attempted to recruit her into their businesses, but Dottie declined those opportunities because she did not want to spend her time, effort, or emotions managing contractors. She had experience managing contractors while building and renovating the nine homes that she and her family had lived in over a span of 15 years.  Her belief was that the frustration of manging contractors would stifle her creativity. So, she birthed Ancient of Days Antiques… and home decor, a retail operation in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Dottie said, “I took some risks hoping that people would buy the same things I liked.” She designs vignettes and shows people the traditional and nontraditional ways to use a mix of new merchandise and treasures from the past.
