Mom was in the antique business for decades. She used to have a store on Irving Place where she held court for years. Before the age of the internet, she was an encyclopedia of information on all sorts of antiques and works of art. Her secret was that she studied. I am selling off a small subset of her art books, 16 books in all, with the hope that you will get as much use out of them as she did. $5 apiece or all 14 volumes for $50.

My mom collected antiques her entire life. She loved going to flea markets and thrift stores in search of hidden treasures. Now that she has passed I am selling off her collection.
