About Us

Hi, I’m Arthur. My wife (the love of my life, (gone some 5 years now) and I were antique dealers for over 20 years. Our show experience took us up and down the Eastern seaboard, doing major shows in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. As I tell all of our customers , we only bought what we loved and sell what we ourselves collected. My home is filled with the same type of antiques as I have in the shop, and our wedding was a Victorian one, held in a gazebo. Additionally, we' occasionally bought and sold on ebay for about 15 years, and I’m proud of the 100 percent feedback record on that venue. As my name implies, I deal mainly in Victorian and antique oriental smalls. My wife and I started as collectors over forty years ago and also studied decorative arts in various learning institutions. Since our retirements, almost 25 years ago (my wife was a kindergarten teacher and I was a supervisory federal investigator) we always had the good fortune of being able to devote more time to our passion for collecting these pretty things, and love sharing this passion with others. Some of our specialties included Victorian calling card cases, snuff boxes and papier mache items, 19th century photography and photo cases, as well as Japanese moriage, european porcelain, and victorian jewelry. My wife and I always took pride in our honesty and customer service, and offering unusual items at reasonable prices. Take a look through my current listings, and if something catches your fancy, I’m always available to assist you or to keep an eye out for that special something you've been searching for. Thank you for spending time browsing through my shop.

Below, are just some of the nice things our customers have e-mailed us in recent months.
