Shop small. Arrive a stranger. Leave with a life-long connection.

Tierra Del Lagarto is a treasure trove of unique home furnishings from around the world, and a member of the Rowe family of retailers for over 20 years. Founded in 1991 by Jerry and Linda Van Lith as a Southwestern furniture outpost in Scottsdale, it has evolved into an exotic destination for imported home decor. This family business is now also co-owned by their daughter Meg Van Lith, and the mother & daughter duo now travel the world hand selecting items from India, Indonesia, Morocco, Mexico, and Turkey for their 12,000 square foot showroom. They specialize in unique finds that "make the room" and start conversations, with a preference for handwoven textiles, intricately painted ceramics, glittering lanterns, and carved old teak. The TDL team includes a fabulous staff of talented people including interior designers, incredible managers, and a busy delivery and receivables department.

"We are so lucky to have many staff members who have been with us for years and years."

- Meg Van Lith, Owner

What makes your shop unique?

Our inventory is a constantly changing kaleidoscope of finds from village makers, multi-generational families of antique dealers and the wholesale suppliers we have encountered in our travels. One of the fun things about our shop is seeing the basics done in a new and interesting way. We carry a lot of beautiful neutral sofas from Rowe, and we love to show clients how to make them their own with vibrant pillows and throws made from indigenous textiles. We have literally thousands of pillows in stock, so it's always a blast when we get new Rowe products in and get to dress up those blank canvases.

How does your shop make customers feel?

Our store is a real trip around the world for everyone that comes in. On any given week the shop may be filled to the brim with treasures from the souks of Marrakech, overflowing with antique Turkish pots and hundreds of kilim pillows from central Anatolia, or bursting at the seams with baskets, lava stone, and old carved teak from Java. Our India shipments come in throughout the year featuring beautiful old doors, towering bookshelves made from architectural salvage, and coffee tables made from vintage trunks. We love the color, texture and life that the wide world brings to our store.
