Celebrating 50 Years
When we first opened our doors back in 1972, it was driven by a love for history, traditional design, and a desire to present objects that have stories to tell. Much has changed since then, but our passion and enthusiasm for the material is stronger than ever. This year we are thrilled to be celebrating 50 years in business in Kenilworth on Chicago's North Shore.
Come and join us as we welcome our fifth decade!
