Over the years, I have purchased a set of five etchings, a Victorian card table, four balloon-back chairs, and a mid-sized mahogany bookcase. The stock Julian carries is clearly miles above any other antique shop I have seen, and the prices he charges are very reasonable for what you are getting. My four balloon-back chairs with cabriolet front legs, and some decorative carving at the top of the back, cost $600 and they are solid walnut. My bookcase is solid mahogany with a beautiful dark red, almost purple finish, glazed doors and a carved freize, and cost $750. As they are all over 100 years old, they do have some signs of wear, but that's to be expected, and gives these pieces character. The workmanship of these pieces make them beatiful to look at as objects in their own right, as well as being functional. Julian is always courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. They also deliver on request, and are always timely. An excellent experience all-around.
