CELEBRATING 51 YEARS
When we first opened our doors back in 1972, it was driven by a love for history, traditional design, and a desire to showcase 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 51 years in business in Kenilworth on Chicago's North Shore!
