Round Top Ranch Antiques: A Year-Round Destination for World Class European Finds

While Round Top may be best known for its twice-a-year antique shows, Round Top Ranch Antiques proves that the town is a treasure trove all year long. Open Monday through Saturday for the past six years, this family-owned business offers an ever-changing selection of authentic, world-class European imports in every season—a true cornerstone of the local market.

At the helm are Henrik and Mary Follin, who ensure the ranch’s three massive barns—spanning 50,000 square feet—remain stocked with fresh inventory throughout the year. They personally source over a dozen 40-foot containers of antiques from Europe annually, with new shipments arriving monthly.

Their curated collection is rich with large-scale case pieces, buffets, sideboards, and solid, sturdy tables, alongside benches, trunks, and Swedish Mora grandfather clocks—many retaining their original hand-painted finishes. Accessories such as leather-bound books, ancient bowls, and pottery vessels add timeless character, waiting to be personalized in clients’ homes.

A Legacy of Expertise

Henrik, the founder of Round Top Ranch Antiques, has spent over 40 years sourcing European antiques. Originally from Denmark, he began buying and selling antiques as a teenager before expanding his successful wholesale business from Northern Europe to Colorado in the mid-1990s. By the early 2000s, his company, Scandinavian Antiques, had grown into the largest importer of Scandinavian pieces in the Western U.S.

Henrik has a passion for large, original oil paintings, and this Spring Show will showcase two remarkable 15-foot tall canvases by Ernest Etienne Narjot, along with an 11-foot-wide French Rococo canvas—masterpieces that are sure to make a statement.

Expanding the Collection: A New Era of European Antiques

“We have always maintained a huge inventory,” says Mary, “and yet we continue to grow. Henrik is not just a buyer—he’s always searching for something ‘new’ in the old… what is the next emerging trend in European antiques that will shape U.S. style?”

For the Spring 2025 Antiques & Design Show, Round Top Ranch Antiques is unveiling an exclusive container of antiques from Spain and Portugal—a first for the business. This new addition, alongside their extensive Scandinavian collection, reflects the growing demand for rich, moody interiors and offers fresh design possibilities for clients and designers alike.

Visit the Showroom or Shop Online

With spacious, well-organized showrooms, visitors can browse the impressive selection without feeling rushed or crowded. Many of the best pieces are available for preview and purchase on Round Top Ranch Antiques’ website, here. However, the Follins still encourage visitors to make the short, pleasant drive to Round Top to explore the substantial showrooms and see the entirety of their inventory in person. 

“Round Top is an easy day trip from Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and even Dallas,” says Henrik. “People are often surprised when they come through town and find us open on a Monday, but it’s also relaxing to explore Round Top when it’s not show time.” 

An in-person visit also means being able to take advantage of Round Top Ranch Antiques’ expert staff. The team is always on hand to assist with finding the perfect pieces and taking care of logistics from payment to shipping and installation. 

Visit Round Top Ranch Antiques daily during the Spring 2025 Antiques & Design Show, and Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm, year-round. For more information please call 979-249-5100, email at [email protected] or visit their website, here.  Follow along with them on Instagram, here.
