About the Business

I specialize in New England furniture made between 1650 and 1820, with a particular emphasis on William and Mary, country Queen Anne, and Federal period furniture from eastern Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Connecticut River Valley. I have maintained an open shop continously since the fall of 1970. My emphasis is always on form and surface, buying and selling pieces that reflect the aesthetic judgement and skill of the maker--and that retain their structural and surface integrity.
