Our Story
AVE (ah-vay) was founded out of a passion for antique furniture and a desire to make classic design more accessible. Established in 2016 by Scott and Lisa Rickert, the New Orleans–based brand began with a thoughtfully curated collection of living and dining room furniture rooted in European tradition.
Today, Ave Home offers a growing assortment of furniture and hardware inspired by historical silhouettes and reinterpreted for modern living. Each piece balances timeless form with updated finishes, proportions, and functionality—designed to feel at home in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
We work closely with skilled artisans to create well-crafted pieces that emphasize quality, detail, and longevity. Most of our designs are kept in stock and available for immediate delivery, allowing designers and homeowners alike to source beautiful, dependable pieces with confidence.
