We are excited to introduce The Graceful Geese Mercantile, our latest addition at Hickory Furniture Mart, located on Level 1, West Entrance. Offering a diverse array of antiques, handcrafted goods, and vintage treasures, this curated gallery is the premier destination for lovers of North Carolina craftsmanship. The Graceful Geese Mercantile’s space will feature up to 180 vendors, allowing shoppers the chance to experience the charm and exceptional talent of our region’s artisans.
A Vision of Community & Connection
Born from the dream of local entrepreneurs Angie and Ray McGinnis, The Graceful Geese Mercantile is a celebration of artistry. What began as a passion for antique and vintage items became a platform to share local talent and foster a sense of community and creativity among artisans and customers alike.
Beyond simply offering exquisite items, The Graceful Geese Mercantile also serves as a welcoming space for locals, hosting various clubs, meet-ups, and gatherings. They also have a lineup of “make and take” workshops, led by visiting artisans, that provides participants with the opportunity to unleash their own artistic potential. For Angie and Ray, their gallery is not just about selling one-of-a-kind pieces; it is a commitment to building connections in our community.

Whether you are an avid collector or simply in search of a unique piece to elevate your space, The Graceful Geese Mercantile invites you to immerse yourself in a world of innovation and craftsmanship. Each item in their collection is a testament to North Carolina’s rich cultural tapestry, offering a glimpse into our heritage with every purchase. As The Graceful Geese Mercantile continues to grow and welcome new vendors to their space, every visit promises something new and different.
We invite you to join us in celebrating this exciting addition to the Mart. The grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for The Graceful Geese will take place on Thursday, May 23 at 4:30pm. They will be hosting their grand opening event during our Memorial Day Weekend Sale, May 24-27, with live music, artists and artisans all weekend.
