I love antiques and hunting small Texas towns for the most unique pieces I can find. The majority of my items have been researched and priced with the help of an antique researcher, therefore, our price and age ranges are to the best of our knowledge. I find a piece and then research before buying because I want to make sure they are not fakes or not valuable. I do extensive research on the style, type of technique used in manufacturing the piece as well as the maker's mark. Because these items are used over generations, they may have slight cracks, chips or crackling. Also, they may have tape on them from the antique stores' form of pricing the items. I try my best to leave them in the current condition so that the new owner can treat, clean or handle the antiques the way they wish. I climb into some of the most packed and dusty places to find these pieces so you don't have to! I hope you love these items as much as I do!
