A shop from self-taught Round Top artist Mary Lou Marks, Southern Beasts is a shop that is named to recognize the wonderful "creatures" she creates for her store. Her pieces, inspired by her life-long love affair with animals, art, and collectibles, consist of quality antique fabrics, needlepoints, tapestries dating back to the 1800s and 1900s, vintage costumes, aubussons, and other remarkable antique trims and embellishments that have been carefully selected and featured. Each piece at Southern Beasts brings eccentric charm to any setting traditional or modern.
