McLaren's ROUND TOP SPONSORED PARTNER INSIDE VIEW Brings it to the Table Legacy importer dishes up the largest selection of reclaimed wood tables handcrafted in their workshop in England. LEIGH MICHAEL PHOTOGRAPHY F or more than a decade, McLaren's Antiques & Interiors has been a cornerstone of the Round Top antiques scene. Today, Helen McLaren continues the legacy started by her late husband, Sean McLaren — traveling the world to thoughtfully choose antiques, industrial and architectural furnishings. Their work has shaped private residences, notable retail spaces, and resorts, drawing visitors from near and far to experience the showroom firsthand. McLaren's roots stretch back over 40 years in business, in addition to more than 30 years dedicated to crafting ex c e p t i o n a l t a b l e s from reclaimed wood. It's become a trusted destination for those seeking interiors with soul, history, and lasting beauty. Familiar red British telephone booths welcome visitors into the expansive 23,000-square- foot showroom, which is filled with remarkable finds from across the globe. Returning customers are drawn back by the ever-changing inventory, while first-time visitors find themselves awestruck by the volume and variety of pieces that arrive from overseas each season. Designers, architects, and wholesale buyers rely on McLaren's as a resource for kitchen islands and seating to crystal chandeliers, artwork, and accessories, all available for purchase through McLaren's generous trade program. The inventory ranges from delicate English china to monumental antique doors, which makes the showroom appeal to both industry professionals and individual collectors seeking something truly special to take home from Texas' iconic antiques market. What sets McLaren's apart, however, are its signature reclaimed-wood dining tables, handcrafted in their workshop in England — the largest and most distinctive selection of reclaimed-wood pieces in Round Top. Each table is constructed from wood sourced from historic buildings, such as the Beverley Minster in East Yorkshire, with many timbers dating back over 150 years. Rich in patina and texture, every table is full of character and individuality and are available in rectangular sizes from two to 26 feet in length, as well as round and oval designs up to 10 feet in diameter. Clients can personalize the wood type, dimensions, and leg style, resulting in a table that feels timeless, personal, and entirely unique, built to be lived with, loved, and crafted to last a lifetime. Adding to the McLaren's experience, Murphy's Steakhouse of Winchester, Texas, returns to the venue for the 2026 Round Top Spring Antiques & Design Show, serving its famous steaks, chicken, shrimp, and sandwiches. This beloved tradition perfectly complements a day spent exploring one of Round Top's most delightful destinations. McLaren's Antiques & Interiors is located at 1745 North State Highway 237. Spring Show Dates: Early shopping, March 6 – 11; Spring Show, March 12 – 29, 8 am – 6 pm daily.
