Eron Johnson's passion for antiques began back in high school. He was first introduced to architectural antiques by his art teacher, all in the midst of an extensive urban renewal in Denver. He began scouring these demolition sites, returning to class with historic and decorative fragments. Encouraged by his teacher, he then became intrigued by the stained glass in the Victorian buildings and taught himself to repair damaged examples. That led to an interest in Tiffany art glass. From art glass, this developed to collecting Art Nouveau, then European furniture, architectural salvage,medieval artifacts, early American furniture, Spanish Colonial art and so on. One area of collecting always led to another and soon his antique collection outgrew his parent's house.By 19 years of age, he was selling his finds to dealers and opened Eron Johnson Antiques at the age of 22. Eron began by traveling across the country in an old van, buying and selling at flea markets and auctions, visiting museums and historic homes. His growing antiques collection shared a dwindling space with hundreds of research books, helping to expand his knowledge.Soon the collection needed more room and Eron bought the first buildings for the gallery which consisted of three abandoned Victorian houses, each without a pane of glass or door left. Renovating old buildings became another passion and following the renovation of several buildings and enormous inventory moves, Eron Johnson Antiques settled in their current 30,000 square foot showroom in 2012 with three acres of exterior space for architectural antiques and garden items. Eron's passion for learning about other cultures, and the quest for the next wonderful or even peculiar objects, keeps visits to Eron Johnson Antiques exciting. The results of over 30 years of collecting can now be seen online with over 10,000 objects.Specialties: Antiques sales, appraisals, estate sales, architectural salvage and preservation.
