This is one of several gift stores nestled among restaurants on Lake Ave in downtown Lake Worth. It is the most elegant of the gift shops. While other stores have a mix of new and old or carry Florida souvenirs, Beresford Manor specializes in high quality items made in France. The inspiration for Beresford Manor came from the owners trips to France where they embraced the phrase art de vivre which translates to English as the art of living. The shop opened in 1993 and they have been in business for 30 years in downtown Lake Worth. As soon as you open the door you feel welcomed in both English and French.

Service was top notch and friendly. I'll be back to shop for some...
