Located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, Savale Antiques offers beauty and charm through antiques, decorative paint and florals.
Owner Lisa Savale opened her business in April 2015 so she could provide things to her clients that make their lives beautiful—fine antiques, decorative premier paints, unique jewelry and custom florals. Lisa says she loves helping others create spaces that reflect their personal style.
Lisa has always enjoyed creating and decorating and has a huge appreciation for beautiful furniture. She has a Fine Arts degree with a minor in Art History and has always loved sculpture, painting and textiles. She managed Trouve, a high-end antique store and boutique for 15 years.
Being artistic runs in her family; her brother is an artist and her grandmother was an excellent painter. A long time passion of Lisa’s is designing custom florals. She started doing flowers for family weddings with her friend, Barbie Moody, over 10 years ago and their collaboration has flourished ever since.
Savale’s two-story building has a rich history. In the 1940s, the building served as a family’s workshop. In the 1960s, it was a go-to location for quilters and seamstresses called the Knitting Store. In the 1990s, it transitioned to well-known Interior Designers who used it as their office/warehouse space. Now Lisa is thankful to call the charming building her own shop. She says, “The beautifully landscaped front garden and back courtyard always makes me smile. And I love the cozy and inviting feeling people experience when they visit.”
The shop proudly retails Jolie—a premier matte finish decorative paint that is extremely versatile. Hands-on paint workshops are one of Lisa’s favorite ways to spend time with her clients. Everything that is needed to learn the various Jolie paint techniques is provided. Also, you could be dreaming about a dozen different things to paint in your home, but if painting isn’t your thing, custom design services are offered where the painting is done for you—either in the store or in your home.
Two local antiques dealers are featured at Savale—Barb Gray with Cottage White and Marianne Linz with Das Haus Designs. Their inventory consists of finely crafted furniture, one-of-a-kind antiques, lighting, artwork and architectural artifacts.
The shop carries jewelry made by Jennifer Koeniger with Humble Jewels. Her studio is on the second level where her sterling silver, 14K gold filled and precious stone jewelry are hand-made with love and purpose.
Savale also offers The Sheet Lady, a local company that provides the softest, wrinkle-free and extremely affordable sheet sets in all sizes—even split king. Additional bedding, such as cozy throws and fine linen duvet covers and shams, are also available.
Great gift ideas include European triple milled bar soaps, candles and lovely lavender products from Gospas Lavender Farm, which is right here in the valley.
Lisa says, “Our staff people are kind, courteous and knowledgeable. They are devoted to helping our clients, whether it’s with that next painting project or selecting a side chair for your guest bedroom. Aline Button is an experienced painter/designer and has a great eye for detail. Her organizational skills help keep the shop and my projects in order. Marcia Hayes is an expert and also loves one-of-a-kind and fine antiques. Her knowledge of high-end French antiques comes from her time spent in France and she is also fluent in French. Kim Nguyen is exceptional in assisting our clients with the Jolie painting techniques and finishes. She majored in Interior Design and also works at the Interior Design Studio next door to my shop.”
When asked about future plans, Lisa responded, “I would say my goal for the shop is simply to continue to offer our services and expertise for all of our clients. We want to always inspire our visitors and help them make their lives beautiful.”
