Remarkable Antique Discoveries from My Career

 Over the past 35 years I have helped identify and place important works of art and antiques for collectors, estates, and museums. Occasionally an object appears in an attic, thrift store, or family home that turns out to be far more significant than anyone expected. These are some of those stories.
