I guess the easiest way to get my feet wet is to plunge right in and start showing you some examples of the items I've collected for you.
I'm really particular about quality, good design and immaculate condition; so you will find that my treasures are ready for display in the most discerning of homes. No chips in the china; no stains or little rips in the bedlinens; and the quilts don't have to be folded "just so" to keep worn or ripped spots from showing. They are as fresh and lovely as the day they were made!
In other words although these are lovely pre-owned and pre-loved treasures they have no major issues. If there is something minor I will note it clearly for you.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this treasure! Here is the classic "just right" antique American quilt, made in the 1890's and treasured since then - I don't think it has been used much - perhaps on the best bed in a guestroom? The 100% cotton fabrics are a combination of several indigo prints - these prints were made in West Virginia and were much loved everywhere for men's shirts, ladies wash dresses and aprons, children's clothes; and were used as well in quilts - everyone loves blue. The double pink print was clearly bought in sufficient yardage not to run out and have to substitute other prints - this tells me it was a special quilt for a special purpose - utility or everyday quilts were made with all the scraps in the scrapbag! And then they were used and used up so that not many survive.
The size is classic late 19th century, early 20th century at 72x76 . It is heavily handquilted and is immaculate.

a pair of candlesticks: faience by Quimper for Williamsburg Reproductions: vintage.
These lovely and very classic faience candlesticks were made to Colonial Williamsburg Reproductions specifications, and carry the well known Quimper backstamp. Research shows them in the classic vintage heavy bound book/catalogue I have here, and Williamsburg stopped making and selling reproduction house furnishings many years ago.
PRICE: $65USD + $10USD trackable SHIPPING = $75USD (quote # cc 0378)

These lovely kits are rarely found in the condition that this one is in. Completed during the early 1980's this quilt saw little use - it was probably kept for special occasions. No flaws or issues noted.
PRICE: $595USD + $35USD trackable shipping = $630USD (please quote # cc 0376)
