WHY ANTIQUES?  A paradox often conveys a great truth. "Why antiques?" I'm often asked. These objects of beauty over a 100 years of age remind us of the fragility of life. Within a second, one can easily shatter months of work performed by a great artist that has survived generations. The artist through devine inspiration and hard labor co-creates a brilliant gem that moves many for years. Through her art, the artist gains immortality. Through the collection of that art, the collector tries to gain immortality, knowing that he can pass on that droplet of light to future generations, much like a parent does a child. Through the branches of our fingers runs the wind of life. The paradox of life's fragility and the quest for immortality is mirrored in one's hunt for beautiful treasured pieces. Life is delicate- collect with passion!
