Although our home is New England, our marketplace is America, and we exhibit in over 20 major shows annually. Customers include not only new and advanced collectors but others in the trade, interior designers, and museums nationwide. Our background includes extensive work as a docent at the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut and the Hyland House in Guilford, Connecticut. Additionally, we are regular free-lance writers for various antiques publications. These include paintings, silhouettes, English ceramics, fireplace equipment, needlework, samplers and a variety of early metalware.
Many items come directly from New England homes.
Others are personally selected in England and on the Continent. Because we're committed to the antiques business on a full time basis, we travel extensively and may be able to locate a special article for you. If so, we will send either photos or the item on approval. We have been instrumental in helping build many fine collections over the years and have been cited in Architectural Digest as one of the top ten sources of fine antiques in Connecticut. The clasped hands in our logo are a symbol of good faith and integrity dating to the 18th Century.
