Our superb finds can now be seen at 1stdibs.com, on Ruby Lane (where we have been the #1 visited shop for antiques for many years now) and on ebay. Our ebay trade name is antiquesuncommontreasure. We started that so many years ago, you could not have spaces or capitals or anything in your ebay name, hence ours.
We hope you'll enjoy our blog, and if you're finding us here for the first time, click on our photos and enjoy our ever-changing inventory first hand. Thanks for following us!
