History
Established in 2016.
Paloma has been flipping art glass for more than thirty years, beginning with her first exposure to Murano rival glass from the 1940s and 1950s. Paloma & Kevin are also museum supporters and donors, including, recently, an original Nancy Stevenson Graves oil on canvas with affixed metal sculpture to the Everson Museum (Syracuse, NY). In 2018, an opportunity arose to go full-time into antiques and used books, and it has been a best decision.
Meet the Business Owner: Paloma Kevin C.
Paloma grew up traveling throughout Europe, including through every major museum and many castles and manor houses. It seemed perfectly normal to her that one should have original art on one's walls and be surrounded by original glass and pottery. It turned her into a shrewd picker!
Kevin grew up on a 1,000 acre farm in Upstate New York. He walked those acres with his grandfather, selecting trees for harvesting and milling in the family sawmill. A carpenter by trade and by passion, Kevin enjoys treasure hunting for furniture and metal objects.
