I have been engaged in the antique world for over 40 years, initially dealing exclusively in materials from the Arts & Crafts Movement [think Frank Lloyd Wright, Stickley, Rookwood et.al.}. Over time my focus has broadened to locate and acquire refined designed furniture and decorative arts across a wide time line -- 1800's to the present. I have had the good fortune to work with leading collectors and dealers in 20th century design, place important objects in various museums and serve as a consultant to several noted auction houses. Along the way I have seen & acquired some amazing things, made good friends, met up with a vast assortment of fascinating characters-- some right out of 'Central Casting' -- and traveled & explored the highways and byways of America on a magical carpet ride.
