The Plano Antique Mall was on the agenda for the day. For some odd reason the GPS found what seemed like a very round-a-bout way to get there and a much shorter way to get back. I had high hopes for this mall, hopes which for the most part failed to be met. The percentage [...]

One of the things I’ve been looking forward to in the Dallas Fort Worth area is visiting the museums. The first of these was the Dallas Museum of Art. I didn’t quite know what to expect, of the museums in the region the one I had heard the most about was the Kimbell Museum in [...]

I recently wandered over to 1stDibs, to see how antique forms are fairing these days on the site.

A map handed to us at the first stop, a higher-end mall called Lost…antiques, lists more than thirty shops and more than forty points of interest, including UPS and several restaurants. [...]

While convention may have it that American furniture isn’t the hot item it used to be, dealers at the premiere of Antiques in Charlottesville January 22-24 reported a high volume of furniture sales.
“If I had one word for what moved out the doors of the Holiday Inn last weekend it would be mahogany,” said Jay [...]

If you have never been inside The National Academy Museum it stood as a stately backdrop for the annual New York Ceramics Fair produced by Caskey Lees Inc. of Topanga, California. With the spiral staircase winding around to bring the attendees to the rare and valuable pieces above it more than fulfilled its purpose.
