Discover
European Elegance
Old-world charm defines The Velvet Pug’s carefully selected collection, where every piece has a history and a story of its own. From the seasoned collector to someone just beginning to discover the pleasure of living with antiques, there is always something unexpected to find.
Throughout the collection, one thing remains constant: an appreciation for exceptional craftsmanship, enduring quality, and pieces chosen for their beauty, character, and individuality.
Unparalleled
Interior Design Services
Susan Gates brings more than two decades of experience in interior design, along with a deeply held belief that the most beautiful interiors are collected and layered over time—not created all at once.
Through The Velvet Pug, she brings together antiques and distinctive finds with access to an extensive network of to-the-trade resources, including fine textiles, wallpaper, lighting, furnishings, and custom pieces. Each selection is considered for its quality, craftsmanship, and ability to contribute something lasting and personal to a room.
The result is an approach to design that feels collected rather than decorated—thoughtful, individual, and meant to evolve with the people who live there.
Experience
Timeless Beauty
Shopping at The Velvet Pug is meant to feel like discovery—an ever-changing collection of antiques, art, furnishings, and objects chosen not simply because they are beautiful, but because they have something distinctive to offer.
Warmth, elegance, and quiet sophistication run throughout the collection, with a subtle European sensibility and an appreciation for things that become more interesting with time. The result is a shop that feels collected, personal, and just a little unexpected.
The Velvet Pug Antiques & Interiors is now at Market Central, 2215 Central Avenue, in Memphis.
