Hailing from Riverside, Connecticut, Ali Mahon has lived and worked in New York City, San Francisco, and Palm Beach. In 2006 she became an antiques dealer, with a keen eye for early American painted furniture and folk art. The Barns was born out of Ali’s passion for collecting and decorating with antiques that are one-of-a-kind, often handmade, and have a story and her desire to make these pieces feel fresh and modern.
