About Us

Welcome
Our goal is to offer decorating items for both traditional and contemporary homes. You also might create your totally unique decor by choosing the best of both styles. Play with shapes, materials, and colors, and dare to combine things that please your eye. You will find the result both exciting and satisfying.
We hope that selections from our collection will help you come a little closer to the home of your dreams.

Marianne Coveney European Essentials has been supplying fine European fabrics, tableware and table linens, art glass, and other home furnishing to the Gainesville, Florida, area since 2000. We relocated to the Haile Plantation Village Center in 2003, but closed that store in 2015 and currently sell online and through personal consultations by appointment. Marianne is proud to share with you a collection of carefully selected quality products. Please contact us for more information.
Marianne Coveney was born and raised in Sweden and was strongly influenced by her Grandmother's and Mother's love and appreciation for beautiful table linens and glass and their great interest in color nuances and combinations. Studies in art history, Greek and Italian archaeology, and languages took her to other countries in Europe and further exposed her to quality objects that give pleasure to the senses. With this background and a move to the U.S. in 1981, she continues to admire and enjoy European interior design.
