Slide Shows - Florida 2014

Thrilled that Marty had invited us to see his collection, I was still floored by the shear impact of walking into a living room that resembles a snapshot in time. No detail spared, in fact the entire house was incredibly put together, items of many areas of collecting, decades in the making. At any moment, it seemed as though a butler might appear to attend to us.
Refreshing to see that Duffner & Kimberly lamps were so well represented, the sheer genius of their designs, clever glass selection and meticulous construction, easily puts them on par with some of the better Tiffany, at least in my opinion. It would have been so easy and predictable to collect the old 'faithfuls' of Tiffany Studios, the dragonflies, poppies, daffodils, all lovely of course, but THIS collection is much more interesting, hats off, good choices! Oh, and that Unique chandelier over the kitchen table was extraordinary.
It is very sad to report that Marty passed away in November of 2019 at the age of 72 and in August of 2022, wife Janis passed too.
