HEIRLOOMS and Treasures

Memories which connect to heirlooms and treasures will be documented with sensitivity, the emotional and financial value explored, the history researched, and a satisfying new placement or home offered for consideration.

“It was neither a cheerful or luxurious abode, but it was as full of wonders as a box of old heirlooms or objects ‘willed.’” — Henry James

China pitcher

Tucked away in various rooms in various homes over decades, this pitcher now has a documented profile of its original owner — a family’s great-great grandmother.

Artifact DISPLAY

Sharks teeth and old bottles were retrieved from vintage cigar boxes.  Now, an early 19th century lath and plaster closet houses a childhood’s collections found on endless summer days scouring farmlands and beaches.  

DARNING EGGS

A memory of a mother mending socks led to the selection of these darning eggs. Years later, the collection was donated to a school’s silent auction and the delighted winner gave it a new home.
