McPhaul, a true lover of all things antique and a retired educator with a 40-year tenure at the LaGrange Public School system, personally collected African American memorabilia, jewelry, glassware, pottery, amongst other rare and fine antiques. Established by McPhaul’s grandfather, Simon Sidle, in 1918, Johnnie’s Antiques is among the last vintage properties on East 6th Street, and notable as one of the first black-owned businesses in Austin. After assuming proprietorship in 1999, Dorothy followed in the family tradition as a fixture of the Texas antique sale circuit.**

02.08.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 967: I note that the jardiniere and pedestal are presently intact and structurally secure, with the planter sitting comfortably against pedestal surface, I note crazing throughout the exterior of both pieces, and the foot of the pedestal exhibits minor staining, both pieces would additionally benefit from a thorough and gentle cleaning, I do not currently observe any chips or fractures to either, there is light wear concentrated to the foot ring of the jardiniere commensurate with use/ display, and examination under blacklight does not reveal evidence of restoration
