However, it is the knowledge gained by personally handling tens of thousands of pieces of furniture - with an historical perspective, an aesthetic sense, and an ethical standard - that truly defines the value of a professional dealer in the antiques business.

I have based my career and reputation on that belief since I opened my own business in 1970.
