| A Personal Note From Joan |
|
I have always loved antiques and collectibles. What is really fascinating is the history of each piece, and the gratification that the customer has been helped.

| Provenance |
| Provenance simply means the source or origin, or who owned the piece at one time. But provenance does not always mean profit. The only time you can cash in on provenance or prior ownership is when the owner was of substantial note and when there is documentation. Even when provenance is established, the value of the piece lies in its own merit or in how good the piece itself is. |
