We are located on 53975 Main Road in the charming hamlet of Southold on the North Fork of Long Island a little over an hour from New York City. Our phone # is 631-765-8432. For inquires about objects on or off this website, call 631-537-3324.
Although we do represent a few artist friends, we don't specialize in a style or period. We seek out individual items that appeal to our eclectic aesthetic and that we can offer to the market at near or below auction prices, without a buyers' premium and with a guarantee (see below). Much of the art we buy and sell never makes it to this site, so check over our Recent Sales and inquire about special interests.
Our summer hours are generally:
The merchandise on display at a show, on this website, on ArtNet.com and/or in our gallery is only a fraction of our inventory. Let us know your interests.

They live in Bridgehampton, where they show by appointment and maintain a room in the Hampton Antiques Gallery ( www.hamptonsantiquegalleries.com )on Montauk Highway.

Fine Print: Most of our mechandise is pre-owned; some normal wear should be expected. When we sell an item on ebay we make every effort to note every blemish, but on items in our gallery and on the website, as a matter of practicality, we only note repairs or unusual problems, but we will be happy to examine carefully any piece you are interested in and issue a more detailed description and provide additional email pictures if desired. Guarantee: We make every effort to attribute accurately and go well beyond the protection offered by any auction house. On all items in the gallery stock, we offer an unconditional guarantee for 5 days from date of purchase or receipt from shipper and an unconditional refund of purchase price with an expert letter disputing attribution for 30 days. We also extend an unconditional sales credit for one year. All guarantees assume return of the merchandise to our gallery in the same condition as sold.Please note, all returns outside of these stated conditions or on wholesale or discount sales are subject to a 2.5% per month (minimum 10% / maximum 25%) restocking fee. Sometimes on consigned pieces, we cannot offer the same guarentee, but in such cases, that information will be noted before purchase. Shipping: We use UPS or the Postal Service for domestic shipping. Insurance is at your option at carrier’s rates. Our charge for boxing is $2-5 plus special boxing if necessary. We pack carefully, double-boxing more delicate items.
