Nevan O'Shaughnessy Owner

Born and raised in Ireland, As a teen, Nevan attended boarding school at Rockwell College in Ireland (hence the name of the business). After graduating high school he attended University College Dublin majoring in a Batchelor of Law Degree. After graduating College he attended Law School at Blackhall Place in Dublin and was enrolled to the Bar of Ireland in 1990 as a lawyer. Nevan subsequently set up his own Law Firm in 1993 and continued to practice law very successfully in Ireland until 2014. As a teen, and a lover of history, Nevan developed a love and interest in all types of antiques. He inherited this 'love' of antiques from his mother who was an avid collector. Nevan would help her with her collecting and restoration of the 'bargains' she found. He subsequently spent 6 months between College and Law School training and learning restoration techniques from a London trained and qualified high-end restorer. As a successful lawyer, Nevan indulged his passion by voraciously collecting all types of antiques at auction , etc all over Ireland, the UK and Europe. His expertise was well recognized in Ireland by various professional dealers who would often seek his advices and opinions on pieces. Nevan always knew in his heart that he was destined to become a professional dealer and to live his passion on a daily basis. In 2014, he decided (along with his wife Mary) that the time had come to make the jump ! Mary is a native of DFW and it was inevitable that Dallas would be the chosen destination for the launch of Rockwell Antiques. After almost 3 years of building a reputation in DFW, building a website, cataloging, restoring etc the time had come to launch in the internationally famous Dallas Design District and we opened our Dallas Gallery in January 2018. We received immediate attention and acclaim being awarded "Best Fine Art & Antique Dealer in Southwest US' by the prestigious LUX Magazine Global Excellence awards for 2017, 2018 and 2019. We were invited onto the 1stDibs Platform in 2018 and became 'Platinum Sellers' on that platform within 6 months. We ere also invited to join the DECASO/Chairish and Incollect Platforms. We have consistent 5 Star Customer Reviews on ALL platforms. One reason for our success is the 'Code of Ethics' that Nevan has brought from his time in the legal profession to this business. A keen sportsman in his youth and a keen sports supporter in his later life, Nevan is a very affable, outgoing personality, who loves to talk to clients and loves regaling them with the stories behind all pieces.
