Get to Know Us

In addition to selling antiques via the listings presented here, we also sell at our gallery and at antiques shows.

But our most common transactions are with established clients. Once we become familiar with customers' tastes, collecting passions, or furnishing and decorating needs, we let them know when we acquire something they might like. We have developed many friendships with antiques enthusiasts and designers this way over the years, which has been one of the most rewarding aspects of being in this business.

So please don't hesitate to call us, introduce yourself, and give us an idea of the antiques you'd like to acquire. We look forward to getting to know you, and helping you find something that you'll love.

A Southerner Off Course Up North

      

A big event in the Maine birding community this fall and early winter was the presence of this Great Black Hawk, which is native to Central and South America and has only been seen north of Mexico once before. It took up residence in a downtown park in the state's largest city, Portland, successfully catching and eating squirrels on a daily basis. We were lucky to see it and snap this picture in mid-January.

The bird did not fare so well with the arrival of a significant snowstorm and bitter cold on January 20th. Someone found it laying nearly comatose on the ground, and with the help of a cross-country skier passing by who happened to have had prior experience with handling raptors, they got it safely indoors and called a Maine bird rescue and rehabilitation organization called Avian Haven.

A network of volunteers then braved icy roads to tag team the transport of the bird over 90 miles in blinding snow to the rehabilitation center.

The Avian Haven vets report that the bird is alert and eating, and that they are monitoring its frost-bitten feet.

Update 2/1/19: Sadly it became increasingly clear to the veterinarians caring for the hawk that the frostbite in its feet and legs was extensive and debilitating, so the bird had to be euthanized. This visitor to Maine was an ambassador from warmer climes who brought many bird watchers and other curious onlookers much fascination and joy. May it rest in peace.
