History

Established in 2004.

My husband/​business partner and I started our business five years ago and it grew from several driving passions in our life, one of which is gift giving. You see, in our families, giving gifts is considered a sport, with Christmas serving as an annual Olympics.

My husband has also been buying antiques since he was five and inherited his family’s penchant for collecting all manner of interesting and intriguing objects.

These two passions together create Sterling Place, a veritable gift and home emporium where we collect objects of delight, beauty and function for all the quirky, amazing people in the world. Everyday we help customers solve that age-​old question, what should I get for… and our furniture and home décor items help anyone bring a little bit of soul into their homes, making them a sterling place of their own.

We relish helping customers solve their decorating and gift giving conundrums. Don’t hesitate to ask for our advice and be prepared to hear a lot of ideas.

Meet the Business Owner

Robert and Elizabeth W.

Business Owner

Elizabeth escaped growing up in a household of artists by playing the clarinet and swimming competitively from the age of 8. She caught the travel bug at 9 and has been stricken with it ever since. After graduating from Smith College, she got a job in the only city she vowed not to live: New York. After many dog years in the Internet industry, she assumed her most important job ever, becoming a mother.

Robert was born and bred on Dean St. in Brooklyn. He was conscripted into antique collecting by his parents at the age of 5, and has been collecting, now voluntarily, ever since. After 10 season-​less years in LA owning a variety of businesses, he returned home and landed a job in the Internet industry, where he promptly outworked his peers and met his wife, Elizabeth.

After three weeks of parenthood, Elizabeth & Robert launched their own business, Ster​ling​Place​.com, in part to have more flexibility with raising their children.
