Having met Craig Mayor today I was impressed with his expertise and his integrity.
He his both a teacher and a business man.
The antiques business can be open to inaccuracies but its’ obvious that Mr. Mayor knows his offerings well and presents them without pressure. I will be happy to return to his gallery,
Thank You Michael for those words. Craig
The Mayor’s antique gallery is a gem. I find it hard to stay away because a visit is sure to yield a treasure for my home. Everyone is welcoming and informative and you are treated like their top customer whether you are purchasing or not. I cannot emphasize enough the quality of the antiques, it’s very rare these days to see such fine merchandise consistently under one roof. I’ve had several deliveries and the service is first rate too. You definitely owe it to yourself to visit DAFA.
Thank you so much Courtnay!!! Craig Mayor
As I live in Canada, the move from my house in Vero Beach was causing me a lot of anxiety. I shouldn’t have worried.
Craig and his team made this move the easiest experience possible. I can’t offer enough accolades about Craig and DAFA.
It’s always such a pleasure to meet truly wonderful people.
Thank you for making my move a happy experience!
Thank you so much Jennifer! Craig Mayor
Craig Mayor’s shop is a true South Florida “find” with a great inventory. Craig is highly knowledgeable and very personable and has not only guided me in my purchases but has been very helpful with recommendations for restoration, trucking, etc.. No visit to South Florida is complete for me and others with an eye for fine antiques without a stop into Craig’s shop DAFA.
Thank you so much for those words Alfred. Craig Mayor
From pickup to delivery of my restored antique chest, Craig Mayor’s services were superlative! During my recent move from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale, the detailing on the chest was
marred. Craig’s professional craftsman not only restored the damaged areas, but also brought out additional wood highlighs
in the entire chest. I am so pleased with the results that I have asked him to restore a family heirloom. Applause, APPLAUSE for Craig and DAFA!
