We have just gotten in some fabulous pieces. Lewis had to enlist the help of his brother Chris in hauling in his goodies. They traveled far and wide in their search for quality pieces. Chris lucked out too! It is in deed fortunate that the two brothers enjoy antiquing together. Chris goes for the historic American pieces and believes he found a piece from Williamsburg. He will take it to be checked out by the powers to be in Williamsburg. Chris grew up taking his bike into Colonial Williamsburg and loved American History. We moved from Williamsburg to Va. Beach when Lewis was a pre-teen.
Lewis loves the great designers of the Deco and early modern periods for their classic designs that look modern even today. These early pieces were made with the same attention to design as the pieces made 100 years earlier.
Lewis has been working feverishly even since. He is cleaning, polishing, and wiring. Yesterday and the last few days the big project was cleaning and french polishing a huge parchment covered console, by Dassi, that sits on a green marble base. Today he steamed clean the upholstered pieces that he acquired. Cleaning and polishing two chandeliers. Our man Friday, Ray, worked equally hard .
