Jan and John Maggs Antiques

When we arrived home from England just a week ago, our yard was still dotted with large piles of snow which ranged in depth from a few inches to more than two feet - the residue of our extraordinary winter. The warm temperatures that have dominated the past few days have now finally reduced these mounds to tiny islands of white, and the first snowdrops of the season have appeared.

It's Monday afternoon, and before lunch we finished unpacking our shipment from England, which arrived safely this morning. Tomorrow we'll begin the process of tidying everything up, photographing each individual piece, writing descriptions, and pricing all of our newest finds. Once this is complete, we'll begin to prepare the shop for our opening on May 3 & 4.

Although this newsletter will contain no listings of new stock, you'll find information about our Opening, pictures from our holiday in London and Paris, and all of the usual features. We hope you'll have a look.

We're home from another buying trip to England, and we have an impressive (to us, anyway) amount of fresh stock, all of which will be on view in our shop on May 3 and 4. You'll find a few more details by clicking on the picture above. We hope you'll come and be among the first to see our newest finds.
