We hope you can join us for this chance to visit us and enjoy our latest collection. Here are a few of the pieces you will see on your visit which are reflective of the age and character that we offer in 17th, 18th, and 19th century antiques. We promise new arrivals each week.

Here are some of our latest purchases and just in time. The inlaid New England Hepplewhite serpentine sideboard is an important prototype, as it is within this basic form that the most handsome ones are made. The strong serpentine shape is immediately attractive and it rests on the tallest of slender line inlaid legs ending in bracelets. The maker's difficult art was to take this massive rectangle on its side and prop it on the most slender, tall legs making it all elegant. W. 72",d. 28", and h.42". Circa 1785.
The Continental kneehole dressing table is most concise with Hepplewhite legs and clean neoclassicism. Mahogany, late 18th century with handmade nails at the drawer bottoms, leather inset top, sound condition. This is a choice small size . H.30.5" , w. 32", d. 19.5".
The English 17th century Baroque table is in elm with an older nice polish. Again, this small size is probably the hardest to find when you need it. W. 31.5", d. 14", h. 28". The gateleg swings open to support the dropleaf extending the top to 37". rich color is evident here.
