Terry Ferrell's Antiques & Museum

Terry Ferrell is a very interesting, knowledgeable, and endearing man. Not only is he the owner and manager of his own antique shop and museum in Edgefield, SC, he is also a minister. He often jokes that he has "married many beautiful women" in his sixty years as a minister.

Terry, like his son Steve, became interested in Edgefield pottery many years ago. Over the years, he has collected many beautiful and rare pieces of Edgefield pottery among other things such as quilts, baskets, and glassware. Many of these items may be seen in his museum which is located at the back of the antique shop. Terry has taught many classes on antiques since 1980 at Greenville Technical College, Furman University, and the Greenville Museum of Art and is very willing to educate his guests about Edgefield pottery and other items in his museum. His antique shop and museum, located in the courthouse square, are open Thursday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm or by appointment.

Terry was featured in the December 1999 issue of Better Homes and Gardens American Patchwork & Quilting featuring his wonderful quilt collection. It is a lovely article featuring many of his beautiful quilts which may also be found in his museum. The article also discusses his love of antiques and how he began collecting in 1963. (Pictured is a mid-1800s Mariner's Compass quilt along with more of his collectibles including pottery by Dave. Click on any image on this page for a larger version.)

Once meeting Terry, many people will have to agree with the article's sentiment. "Terry Ferrell embodies Southern charm and grace, as do most of his inspiring antique quilts."
