What makes this collection special? It’s all in the details:

Notice the hand-carved allegorical figures, the silk upholstery with double piping, button tufting and perfect tucks, the graceful, perfectly tapered cabriole legs, hand-inlaid marquetry.... look for the maker’s marks, the hand-painted motifs, hand-cut crystal drops, tooled-leather tabletops, the softly-worn patina... that tells the story of an items’ history...and speaks of its age and authenticity.

These exceptional pieces were built to last by skilled artisans using the finest hard wood (mahogany, fruitwood, walnut) and quality materials (silk, down, crystal, copper, marble) and traditional techniques. They have beautifully served one family for three generations, and will continue to be enjoyed by future generations.

Whether you’re looking to add a touch of elegance and warmth to your home, or to find the perfect statement piece, this is your chance to bid on a discerningly chosen and lovingly maintained collection of gorgeous antiques.
