This year marks 51 years in the antique and art business in the Los Angeles area and at one time Las Vegas and San Rafael, CA. Up until 2006 we had two large stores in Los Angeles, one was in Hancock Park on Larchmont Blvd and the other on famous Melrose Ave. These days poor health has curtailed my yearly travels to Europe on buying trips. My time is spent searching leads and estate sales. My wife and I have held local estate sales for over 30 years and have a very competent staff which helps us. We are always ready to help family who need to have a sale.

My first love is paintings done in France, 1900 to 1950. This period is often called the “School of Paris” and included artist from around the world that worked and studied in France. The great American artist William Merritt Chase was one of these artists along with hundreds of others from Japan, South America and Russia.

I have over 300 such paintings. Many are listed on the Ruby Lane site under our shop name, Larchmont Village Antiques. My wife\'s specialty is antique jewelry andhas been running our stores since 1981. Please watch my listing as we are buying great items daily. We find great paintings as well as estate jewelry, glass as well as other collectables.

Always feel free to ask questions and I\'ll do my best to answer promptly.
