Spring-Summer Schedule

is now open on Sundays from 10:00 until 4:00. This schedule will

New Stock Listings
This month we're adding nearly two dozen pieces to our online
inventory, including a 17th-century oak armchair, a centennial
joint stool, an assembled set of four American ladder-back chairs,
several horn beakers, four early Dutch blue and white tiles,
several bits of interesting treenware, and a grouping of
Georgian jewellery. Click on the paste earrings for a look at
these latest listings. |

MaggsList
This month we introduce a new department - MaggsList
- in which we publish pictures and descriptions of articles for
sale by friends and customers. Like Craigslist, its more famous
model, MaggsList is a free service and all
communication should be between buyer and seller. To see current
listings, or if you're interested in selling something on
MaggsList, click on the picture of John. |

Revitalizing Rhinebeck
A personal perspective
We've recently returned from a very successful weekend at the
Rhinebeck show. In recent years, many of us have been concerned
about this show, which has slipped from its position as one of
the most exciting in the Northeast. Although not all dealers
would agree, the May show regained much of the energy for which
Rhinebeck was once known. For pictures and a candid report,
click on the Building C sign. |

A Visit to Venice
Last fall, after our buying trip to England, we set out on a
train voyage from London to Rome. On our way we spent a few
days each in Bruges, Zurich, Venice, and Florence. This month
we'd like to share some of our experience in Venice, which we
feel is one of the most romantic and beautiful cities on
earth. We invite you to click on the canal to begin your
visit.

The Back Page
On the drive from our hotel in Hyde Park to the Rhinebeck show
on Sunday morning, we took a detour through the Vanderbilt
property, where we snapped several pictures of the grounds. We
find none so captivating as this
view of the Hudson, taken near the mansion.

We hope you've enjoyed this month's newsletter. Remember, we're
open most Sundays and would love to see you. If another day
works better for you, please e-mail; we'll be more than happy to
