Antiques Roadshow

APPRAISER

We're in our home today in Madison, Connecticut, and we're surrounded by our collection, and just as we love objects that have this reductive minimalistic form, our collection is displayed that way as well. It's a very minimalistic presentation that we like so objects have their room to breathe, and we have our favorite weather vane, we have this wonderful eagle over my shoulder here. And other objects, tobacco figure of course one of the cornerstones of folk art are these three-dimensional objects that we just happen to gravitate to and specialize in. One of my personal favorites is the apiary in the form of a civil war soldier that is displayed in our living room as well. So here we are with the Swan sleigh and it was so easy to make this one of the focal points of our living room because, truly, it holds up is one of the finer pieces in our collection and a piece that we love. It's been part of our family and and it becomes you know just that. So, yeah, it's it's still the focus of our collection and one of our prime pieces, absolutely.
