Our Story

Bob & Ellen Tuttle founded AMG, the Antique Management Group, on October 1, 1994, in Greer, South Carolina. They started in an empty warehouse with a few dozen pieces the family had collected and refinished over the years.

Soon after opening, Bob and Ellen began making monthly trips throughout the South and East Coast, visiting auction houses and estate sales to acquire exceptional pieces and make them available directly to customers. With more than 30 years of antique refinishing experience between them, they brought a practiced eye and skilled hand to every piece that passed through their showroom at the Greer Depot Station.

Although the showroom has closed, the Furniture Facts essays Bob and Ellen developed remain available on this site. These popular resources cover topics from identifying solid mahogany versus veneer to understanding American furniture manufacturers of the early 20th century. We hope they continue to inform and inspire your appreciation for fine antique and vintage furniture.
