Labor Day is on it's way

Labor Day weekend is just about here! The perfect time to get out of the city and into the country to enjoy the fresh air, friends and family. In anticipation of the break we pulled together a few paintings and pieces all about travel and relaxation. As always, more information about our antiques is available on 1st Dibs. We hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful Labor Day!
