For the last 4 decades we have been devoted to the search and purveyance of fine antiques, art, and books! We love prints, sculpture, and every kind of Victoriana, from art glass to ephemera. After 42 years downtown we have moved into a smaller space at 508 Water St. and will concentrate more on art related items such as framed art, prints and sculpture. Our interests are diverse and eclectic so expect lots of other interesting things but we do have a special affinity for Paper, in all it's manifestations. We offer one of the largest selections of old etchings, wood engravings, lithographs, paper ephemera and bronze statuary in the Midwest. We guarantee satisfaction with all items purchased from us.
