Specialties
Maison Felice is one of the world's most distinguished dealers of museum-quality antiques, rare finds, and luxury home furnishings. For over 25 years, we have traveled the globe to source the most exceptional pieces — from grand 18th-century French furniture and English Regency masterworks to Art Deco treasures and fine contemporary art. Every item in our collection is hand-selected with an unwavering eye for quality, rarity, and historical significance.
Our breathtaking 20,000-square-foot gallery, located on the famed El Paseo shopping avenue in Palm Desert, California, is an experience unlike any other. Known as the "Rodeo Drive of the Desert," El Paseo is the ideal setting for a collection of this caliber. Stepping inside Maison Felice is like walking through a world-class museum — except everything is available to bring home.
We specialize in an extraordinary range of categories including antique seating, sofas and settees, tables, cabinets, commodes, lighting, fine art, sculptures, ceramics and porcelain, crystal and glassware, sterling silver, clocks, mirrors, and rare decorative objects. Our exclusive collections include pieces from celebrated provenance, including items from the Ann & Gordon Getty Collection and works by renowned artists and designers.
Whether you are a seasoned collector, an interior designer, or simply someone with a deep appreciation for the finest things in life, Maison Felice offers an unparalleled shopping experience.
History
Established in 1998.
Maison Felice was founded in 1998 by Mrs. Phyllis Washington, a lifelong antiquarian and devoted patron of the arts whose passion for design history and exceptional craftsmanship became the foundation of everything the gallery represents. With a discerning eye cultivated over decades of collecting, Mrs. Washington set out to create something truly rare — a destination where the world's most extraordinary antiques, fine art, and decorative treasures could be discovered and appreciated by fellow lovers of beauty and history.
What began as a singular vision has grown into one of the most respected antique galleries in the United States. Over 25 years later, Maison Felice remains true to its founder's original spirit — curating only the finest pieces, sourced globally, and presented with the same passion, integrity, and love of beauty that Mrs. Washington brought to every single acquisition from day one.
Meet the Business Owner: Phyllis W.
Mrs. Washington's journey into the world of antiques was driven not by commerce, but by genuine love. Her travels across Europe, Asia, and beyond brought her into contact with some of the rarest and most magnificent objects ever created — and she made it her mission to share them with the world. That mission became Maison Felice.
